Houston, don’t miss this tonight.

Sounds Like Home is more than a concert, it’s music, storytelling, spoken word, and soul in its most intimate form. Inspired by the world of Our Road Home, this experience invites you into the stories behind every song.

Think Tiny Desk. Think Unplugged. Think a room filled with people fully present.
