The season will also include Orfeh, Jason Moran, and many more.
The Hobby Center has revealed the Live at the Founders Club 2026–2027 Season, a live music club experience showcasing local, national and international talent in a format not commonly offered in Houston.
The 2026–2027 Season introduces Signature Artists for the first time, which recognizes influential performers whose work has made a lasting impact on their fields. The inaugural group includes actress, singer, comedian, and SNL alum Ana Gasteyer; Grammy-nominated Brazilian musical icon Babel Gilberto; and acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, and MacArthur fellow Jason Moran.
Now featuring 12 concerts, the fourth season of Live at the Founders Club runs September 2026 through April 2027 and celebrates jazz, world music, and the Broadway Songbook.
The Founders Club offers intimate memorable performances, table service, and a warm, social atmosphere. Guests may reserve a full table of four or enjoy shared seating. A full bar and selections from an exclusive menu curated by James Beard Award winning chef, Chris Shepherd are available before and during the event, with doors opening 90 minutes before showtime.
Full 12-show subscriptions, which include guaranteed access to all three Signature Artists, are available now, along with pre-selected 9-show and flexible 6-show Pick-Your-Own packages
