Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Tomorrow beginning at 10 a.m., a loud, raucous, event will take place in support of our music editor, Chris Gray, and it couldn't be more appropriate.
Chris Gray Day opens with breakfast with the Allen Oldies Band and closes just south of 2 a.m. with Horseshoe on the Continental Club stage.
Below is the full lineup of bands as well as links to purchase tickets and information on auction items and special events. We hope to see you all there in support of Chris and his family.

In addition to all the bands (see below), there will be a silent auction with a ton of killer stuff. You can see a partial list of auction items with some photos here.
Also, please note that at 4:40 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. on the Continental Club stage there will be special presentations made by the city both to the Gray family and to the officers who helped to save Chris' life.

Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
