For the love of the song

Welcome to Texas Nights Concerts! TNC was established by Barney & Beverly Goodman in the 90’s, to provide a space for music lovers and exceptional artists to share the love of the song. These concerts were hosted in their backyard, surrounded by friends and fellow music lovers in Friendswood TX.

My uncle Barney (Bar as most of us called him) passed away far too soon on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. In an effort to preserve his memory, love for Texas music and pass on everything he and Beverly did for the TX music scene we are re-publishing the TNC archives for everyone to enjoy.

When asked why Bar and Beverly started the Texas Nights Concerts, their reply was simple… it was “For the love of the song”

The TNC archives

Take a trip back in time to where the Texas Nights Concerts first started.  Picture this… a neighborly backyard in Friendswood, TX with picnic blankets, lawn chairs, good friends, a cold beer as the sun sets. Ray Wylie Hubbard steps on to the deck and shows us what good ole Texas music is all about. The TNC archives go as far back as 1999, with the last show being in 2010. We invite you in to explore the best of Texas music.
