Max Flinn has already had a busy 2020, playing the Steamboat Springs MusicFest and recording and writing new music in Nashville. But the Houston-based country artist is certain that his show at the Rodeo’s Hideout honky-tonk (March 10, rodeohouston.com) will be a highlight of the year. “I've been attending the Rodeo for as long as I can remember, and always dreamed of getting involved musically,” says Flinn, who’s played the Rodeo’s Wine Garden tent for the last couple of years. “The way I look at it, the Hideout is one step closer to the big stage.”

Morris always used to say, “The fastest way to lose a customer is to bore him” and we agree. A percentage of every season’s budget is allocated to something new and unique. While product is key, it’s not enough. Having an excellent staff and discipline in business practices is also critical.
