Houston: Morrissey at 713 Music Hall

Morrissey brings his singular blend of wit and melancholy to 713 Music Hall in Houston on November 1, with the show starting at 8:20 PM. The Manchester-born singer first rose to fame as frontman of The Smiths in the 1980s, a band whose literate, mordantly funny lyrics and jangling guitar work made them one of the most influential acts to emerge from British indie rock.

Since The Smiths’ 1987 breakup, Morrissey has built an equally significant solo career spanning albums including 1988’s “Viva Hate,” 1994’s “Vauxhall and I,” and a string of later releases that have kept his devoted fanbase engaged across nearly four decades. His lyrics, which mix romantic longing, social commentary, and deadpan humor, along with his famously theatrical stage presence, have made him one of the most quoted and referenced figures in British music, even as his public statements have periodically drawn controversy.
