Show Preview: Via Colori 2009

Well, it's another fall weekend here in Houston which brings another great musical event to fill our time. On Saturday, November 21st and Sunday November 22nd, The Center for Hearing and Speech will be presenting the 2009 edition of Via Colori, a street painting festival that, along with the amazing chalk work of local and national artists, will also feature some of Houston's most buzzworthy local bands. We were able to make it out to both days of last years event, and had such a great time checking out the artists work and enjoying great sets of music by the likes of Moses Guest, Sideshow Tramps and The Wild Moccasins. This year will have two stages featuring somewhat of a who's who of local indie music with performances by Buxton, Spain Colored Orange, Runaway Sun, Elaine Greer and a return trip by The Wild Moccasins.

Via Colori is completely free, and will feature tons of local vendors, reasonably priced food and drink, a photography contest and several other events to keep you busy all afternoon. You can find out more by visiting Via Colori's official website, or by following them on Twitter. You can also browse the official music schedule after the jump.
