Pegstar, one of the largest independently owned live music
booking and promotions companies in the Southwest,
responsible for organizing and producing over 500 concerts a year including Free Press Summer Festival, is set to
launch a new live music venue. WHITE OAK MUSIC
HALL on Little White Oak Bayou is currently under construction and slated to open in 2016. It will span five acres
with three performance spaces including an outdoor lawn.
MINOTAUR BOOKS made an unprecedented announcement last month with
MURDER BY THE BOOK store owner McKenna Jordan joining their publishing house in a newly created position as Publishing Consultant. It’s not every day
that a bookseller is made a publishing consultant. As always, Murder By The
Book will continue to be her priority, but this is certainly an exciting development
both for her and the store.
The home goods store Garden
Ridge, known for its abundance of unique home items,
recently underwent a complete
rebrand and changed its name
to AT HOME. www.athome.com
