The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Wine Garden was buzzing Tuesday night.
Kudos to different Beast, featuring Buzz contributing photographer Michael Hart on bass, who rocked the Wine Garden under a full moon. Even though special guest Sharon Montgomery was feeling under the weather, her incredible voice left the crowd begging for more.

Continuing to look back on 10 years of (mostly) blissful existence here at The Buzz….

Do your kids have too much homework? Do they miss sleep in order to finish? Do they cave into the temptation to cheat because they can’t get it all done?
Vicki Abeles, a mother-turned-filmmaker, aimed her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded many of our schools and many children’s lives. Her documentary, Race to Nowhere, discusses a silent epidemic in schools, …
