As July winds down, GuadalaHARRY’s Bar & Grill in Historic Downtown Conroe is keeping the summer vibes strong with another round of stellar live music. With a setting that combines Southern charm, handcrafted cuisine, and a rotating lineup of regional talent, our stage is the heartbeat of the weekend in downtown. This Friday and Saturday, expect two distinct evenings of entertainment that show off the diversity of live music in Conroe.

On Friday, July 25, Gregg Watts steps into the spotlight. While he keeps a low profile online, his growing local reputation and stage presence speak for themselves. Saturday, July 26, marks the return of a GuadalaHARRY’s favorite, James Zimmerman, who brings his captivating piano-driven performance back to our venue. Whether you’re looking for a night out with friends or just want to enjoy great music with your meal and cocktail, these shows are not to be missed.

Friday evening features a performance by Gregg Watts, a musician who lets his live shows do the talking. Though he flies under the radar in terms of promotion, those who’ve seen him perform know to expect an authentic and engaging experience.

Watts brings a grounded presence to the stage. His style is unpretentious, his delivery confident. There’s an energy to his sets that immediately draws in the crowd, whether it’s their first time hearing him or they’re coming back for more.

The unpredictability of his playlist is part of the appeal. Each show takes shape in the moment, guided by the crowd and the atmosphere. GuadalaHARRY’s intimate setting complements that approach perfectly. It’s a show built around feel, not formula, and it’s exactly what Friday night in Conroe calls for.

Saturday, July 26, 2025 – James Zimmerman LIVE

Saturday’s show welcomes back pianist James Zimmerman, whose previous performances have left a lasting impression on GuadalaHARRY’s regulars. Known for his expressive playing and seamless genre fusion, Zimmerman offers a captivating contrast to Friday’s performance.

Zimmerman’s piano work blends classical technique with jazz phrasing and modern melodic structure. The result is a performance that feels fresh, emotionally rich, and technically impressive. He moves easily between reimagined popular songs, introspective originals, and improvisational flourishes that keep each set unique.

His presence at the piano is calm and focused, but the music itself carries deep movement. Melodies soar, pause, and unfold with purpose. It’s not just background music; it’s the kind of performance that commands attention and holds it.

Zimmerman connects through his craft rather than words. Each show leaves guests talking about not just what they heard, but how it made them feel. It’s an ideal close to a summer weekend in Conroe.
