House of Blues

Though this is just one of several folk-art-filled locations across the US, the House of Blues” exciting mix of up-and-coming and established artists makes it feel like a home-grown champion. The multi-level main floor is surrounded by three bars and tiered balcony seating. Acts range from Carlos Santana, who did a residency here, to kitschy cover bands to indie stalwarts like the Flaming Lips. Sundays feature the popular Gospel Brunch.
