A New Musical Community in Houston?
Houston, Texas, has always had a deep underground artistic community. But with no centralizing bar district and the most diverse population out of any city in the county, it can feel fragmented for those who strive to be a part of the musical and artistic communities in Houston. The now-owner of Band Barracks had a creative solution to some of the issues that plague musicians there: to create the best and largest band rehearsal studio that Houston, TX, has to offer and to let it be a place where musicians could network, perform, and—most importantly—practice.
How a Young Musician Set Out to Change the Music Scene in Houston through Rehearsal Studios.
Curran Guiney, the founder of Band Barracks, has been an active guitarist and songwriter for nearly his entire life and knows how hard it can be for musicians to gain a foothold and a working tempo. The active musical community in Houston, TX, seems to be underserviced and undervalued—even down to the most basic levels. Having worked as a musician in many different locations around the United States, and having personally rented many rehearsal studios over the years, Curran observed an overall feeling that rehearsal spaces are neglected lock-outs that don’t prize security and are unpleasant to rent from. Curran believes that a rehearsal studio could be so much more, and so in 2016, he began the creation of Band Barracks.
Band Barracks strives to provide two things: the largest number of the highest-quality band rehearsal studios in Houston, TX, and an active internal community that can provide networking, content creation, opportunity generation, event hosting, and promotion. By taking advantage of a massive pool of musicians that rent in the same 30,000 sq. ft. building, and combining it with both private events hosting and working partnerships with outside agencies, Band Barracks hopes to spawn a hotbed for creativity that could potentially elevate the entire musical scene in the 4th most populous city in the country.
