houston, texas - venue - jones hall
two local sources of mine confirmed today that morrissey would be performing at jones hall in houston.
it would be part of a music concert series that houston society for the performing arts is going to to be having.

looking at the venue's schedule and the gap in the tour booked so far, i predict it'll be in march.

right around sxsw.
