📘 Bailey Zimmerman Tonight + A Blues Legend, Plant Show, and Free Concerts This Week
April goes out swinging in Huntsville - tonight alone you've got a country arena show at the VBC, live guitar at the art museum, and a national beach volleyball championship running all week at John Hunt Park. The weekend stacks up just as fast, with free outdoor concerts at Lowe Mill, Robert Cray on Saturday night, and Devon Allman bringing a full blues summit to Mars Music Hall on Sunday.

7pm (doors 5:30pm) · Tickets via Ticketmaster
VBC Propst Arena, 700 Monroe St SW · Von Braun Center / Live Nation
Zimmerman's first-ever arena headline run lands in Huntsville tonight, with Hudson Westbrook and Blake Whiten opening. The tour is behind his sophomore album 'Different Night Same Rodeo', released last August, and the Propst Arena is a proper setting for it.

Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, 2211 Seminole Dr SW · Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment
Lowe Mill's outdoor dock series kicks off its Spring 2026 season tonight with Guthrie Echoes - admission is free, and you can walk through 300+ working artist studios before the music starts. Parking on-site is $10; leashed dogs and lawn chairs are welcome.

7pm · Paid - check Eventbrite for current pricing
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Huntsville Downtown, 745 Constellation Place Dr SW · TxC Event Productions
A paint party set to trap and hip-hop, where you leave with a finished canvas and no art experience is required. The bar is open, the music is loud, and the vibe is decidedly not a quiet studio class.
|
|
8pm (doors 7pm) · From ~$36 via Ticketmaster
VBC Mars Music Hall, 700 Monroe St SW · Von Braun Center
Five Grammy wins, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, and a Stratocaster tone that's been imitated for decades - Robert Cray is the real article, and Mars Music Hall is the right room for it. Tickets start around $36 via Ticketmaster; the VBC is cashless.
|
|
|
1:30pm · Free with online registration; $10 at the door
VBC South Hall 2, 700 Monroe St SW · American Consumer Shows
Vendors covering gowns, venues, catering, photography, music, and honeymoon destinations, plus planning seminars, a Glam Bar, the 'Dear Danielle' fashion show, and food sampling all under one roof. Register free online ahead of time - otherwise it's $10 at the door.
|
|
7pm · Tickets from ~$53
VBC Mars Music Hall, 700 Monroe St SW · Devon Allman Project
Devon Allman headlines with an all-star supporting cast: Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie on harmonica, blues guitarist Larry McCray, and New Orleans soul singer Sierra Green. If you only catch one show this weekend, this one is worth the argument.
