We invite everyone to celebrate David Bowie's Birthday with our annual David Bowie Sidewalk Chalk Art (weather permitting). Whether it's with a lyric, a quote that resonates with you, or a simple depiction of David Bowie -- come out and share it with us and other Bowie fans.

Join us on Saturday, January 10th, 2026 at 4:00 pm when Rich Hopkins & The Luminarios takes the Cactus stage.

Rich Hopkins is in a heroic struggle against mediocrity and complacency. A prolific writer, singer, guitarist, producer and humanitarian, Hopkins is concerned for the well-being of his fellow man and wonders about the events that have shaped us as a nation and a race.

Hopkins, who has been a part of the American music scene since 1985, is, amazingly, still an undiscovered talent to some. Founding the Tucson, Ariz. based  (RCA 1989-91)/  (Polygram 1993), Hopkins toured the U.S. and celebrated success with college/indie rock classics "Witchdoctor" and "We Don't Do That Anymore" (both went to #5 on the CMJ charts). In 1991, Hopkins formed Rich Hopkins and The Luminarios as a side project; it soon became his full time band when the  stopped touring. He has consistently cranked out new records (30 in all) and tours yearly in Germany/Europe (25 tours) where, in 1996, he was one of the first artists signed to Germany's Blue Rose Records.

His most recent project is involving a few co writes with other musicians and most notably with Lisa’s niece, the young, new talent  from Houston, Tx He helped record and produce a few songs for her and has enlisted Hannah in singing the lead on the catchy Hopkins/Novak co write “ The Upside of Down”as well as vocals on the sunny, ear candy “Big Star” Hannah adds a fresh, youthful sound to the seasoned Hopkins/Novak songwriting team Go ahead, take a listen... Then hit repeat!

"While it’s not New York, H-Town moves fast—albeit with paper license plates. But all of that progress means that, much like poorly loaded trucks on the Gulf Freeway, something inevitably gets lost along the way. Like the waters of Buffalo Bayou, you never seem to step in the same Houston twice—and probably shouldn’t smoke around it. AstroWorld. The Houston Oilers. Stevens & Pruett. The Great Malls of the 1980s and their Great Big Crunchy Hair. So many Houston experiences have now floated downstream into a shoebox of faded Weingarten’s photos shoved under the bed of Texas history. Until now. Lost Treasures of Houston helps you celebrate 200-plus people, places, and phenomena that once made Houston the greatest city in the world! Well, the South, anyway. Or Texas at least. Definitely the Gulf Coast north of Port Aransas and this side of Orange. So join local author William Dylan Powell and throw on your Luv Ya Blue gear, crack open a Grand Prize Beer, and get ready to laugh through the tears with this fajita-scented love letter to yesterday’s Houston." - William Dylan Powell
