As the lead singer of Houston four-piece psych-pop outfit Mojave Red, singer-songwriter Josh Cobb, 28, has spent years performing his band’s signature trippy tunes on stages all over Houston.


The band, which released its debut EP in 2015, began slowing down their local gigs even before the lockdown — but that’s only because they’re about to drop some epic new music. The group is set to release a four-track EP soon, which Cobb says is “coming together to be one of the best things we’ve ever done.”

And with the extra time on his hands, he’s spent hours in his home studio, developing new songs and experimenting with recording. “Hopefully, after everything settles, we’ll all be back out there, just like before.”

The centuries-old Hammam tradition has always fascinated me—not just for its relaxation benefits, but for its holistic approach to cleansing the body, mind, and soul. So, combining my passion with a vision to bring an authentic yet luxurious Hammam spa experience to Houston, I took the leap less than two years ago to open my own spa.

Jacob Hilton, a.k.a. Travid Halton, at home in his kitchen, where he enjoys cooking as a form of therapy.

PINK FLOYD'S THE Wall. Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Three divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work, meant to be experienced in a single sitting. Houston singer-songwriter Jacob Hilton, 37, who records as Travid Halton, a portmanteau of his mother and father’s names, might balk at being mentioned in such company. (This is a thoroughly unpretentious man, who describes himself as an “archaeologist turned singer-songwriter.”)
