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.”

The award is an esteemed honor bestowed to French citizens by the French Republic for outstanding contributions to agriculture and the culinary arts.

THE OPERA BALL, one of Houston’s perennially elegant, must-hit galas among the society set’s top tier, tilted marvelously mod and disco-deluxe this year, with sophisticated Spanish hints, thanks no doubt to ball chairs Isabel and Ignacio “Nacho” Torras. They are, of course, the arts patrons behind two of Houston’s most popular and trendy restaurants — MAD and BCN Taste & Tradition.
