Houston Rodeo Guide: Thomas Rhett Takes The Stage Wednesday

HOUSTON, TX — The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) enters its second week after the annual barbecue cook-off and the first eight can't-miss concerts. The music began Feb. 27 at NRG Stadium with megastar Garth Brooks. Since then, acts have included Little Big Town, Blake Shelton, Leon Bridges, Kelsea Ballerini and Alessia Cara.

The genre moved back to country Monday night with the group Rascal Flatts and then Tuesday night with Jason Aldean. On Wednesday, Thomas Rhett brings his smooth country sounds to town with hits like:
