Avant Garden
411 Westheimer
Houston, TX 77004
Some nights it’s an indie boho fashion show. Other nights it can be a quiet acoustic venue with candles flickering from an open window. Millions of scenes ago Avant Garden was called the Mausoleum, and then the converted house went through a variety of structural and aesthetic changes to become the folkie playground it is today. Local artists like Sara Van Buskirk routinely pack the house with their strummy acoustic jangle, as listeners sip Shiners or Merlot. The front yard and patio is a mass of smoky rockers and their women conversing about their next projects, while watching the giddy masses make their way to their various weekend haunts.
