As April begins and the weather turns ideal for live music, GuadalaHARRY’s Bar & Grill in Historic Downtown Conroe is once again delivering a strong weekend lineup. With a vibrant new space in the heart of downtown, the venue continues to pair fresh seafood, Cajun and Tex-Mex flavors, and hand-crafted cocktails with high-caliber local and regional talent. This Friday and Saturday offer two very different, equally engaging performances that highlight the range of GuadalaHARRY’s musical programming. On April 4, the Cliff Hanning Trio returns to bring its signature Texas country style. The following night, April 5, welcomes Mark Zeus, a first-time performer at the venue whose presence promises an energetic and eclectic close to the weekend.

Friday, April 4 – Cliff Hanning Trio LIVE

Cliff Hanning’s name has long held a place in the Texas country scene, and his trio format offers a uniquely personal version of his well-known sound. With decades of experience and a voice that carries the weight and warmth of real life, Cliff brings the kind of performance that connects deeply with listeners. The trio setup strips away excess and highlights the interplay between vocals, guitar, and rhythm, allowing the audience to hear each moment with clarity and feeling.

The songs themselves span themes of heartache, wide-open roads, and small-town stories, grounded in Hanning’s distinct blend of traditional country tone and honest delivery. Every performance feels grounded and unforced, which is part of why Cliff continues to draw both loyal fans and newcomers wherever he plays.

At GuadalaHARRY’s, that intimate energy is amplified by the setting—an open-air patio with just enough separation from the city to let the music breathe. It’s the right space for the kind of show Cliff Hanning Trio does best: one rooted in feeling, shaped by storytelling, and delivered with professionalism.

Saturday, April 5 – Mark Zeus LIVE

Saturday’s set belongs to Mark Zeus, a first-time performer at GuadalaHARRY’s whose presence is difficult to sum up in a single phrase. Described as an activist-folk singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and something of a self-styled “god of folk-rock and boogie,” Zeus brings a wide-ranging energy to the stage. His performances blend folk sensibility with rock structure and rhythm-driven momentum, often touching on personal or socially reflective themes delivered with sincerity and a clear sense of identity.

Mark Zeus doesn’t rely on just one sound. His style draws from decades of music history but is carried by a voice and playing style that are distinctly his own. There’s an underlying versatility to his work—some songs might feel introspective and lyrical, others built to move a crowd. That range is part of what makes him a compelling addition to this weekend’s lineup.

As a newcomer to the GuadalaHARRY’s stage, Zeus brings fresh momentum to the weekend. For anyone interested in seeing a performer with both musical depth and a willingness to push beyond genre lines, Saturday night will be a set worth catching.
