British rock band Bush will celebrate its 30th anniversary with Bush - Loaded: The Greatest Hits Tour in summer 2024, including a stop at 713 Music Hall in Houston on Friday, September 5.

The two-month tour will kick off on July 26 in Bend, Oregon, traveling to 32 cities, including three in Texas:

September 4: San Antonio
September 5: Houston
September 6: Dallas

They'll be joined by special guests Jerry Cantrell (of Alice in Chains fame) and Candlebox on all dates. Additional guests will be announced.

Bush released their debut album, Sixteen Stone, in 1994. The success of songs like "Comedown," "Glycerine," and "Machinehead" made them famous, which led to their second album, Razorblade Suitcase in 1996, becoming the only No. 1 album of their career.

They have maintained a steady presence in the rock world over the past 30 years, with the majority of their songs reaching at least the top 20 in the U.S., including the No. 2 "More Than Machines" in 2022. Their latest release, Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994–2023 in 2023, features the top 20 song "Nowhere to Go But Everywhere."

In order to make attendance possible for fans of every budget, a limited amount of tickets in participating markets will be as low as $19.94 (before taxes and fees), a nod to the year of their debut.

An artist ticket presale will begin on January 16 at 11 am Central time. General on-sale tickets will be available on Friday, January 19, at 10 am. Link to tour tickets is at bushofficial.com/tour, and the Dallas show is here.

Bush will perform a special version of “Glycerine” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 16, and appear on NBC’s Today on January 17.

Houston Health Museum's new exhibit shines a light on dyslexia

Sarah Sudhoff created "The Reading Brain" in honor of her son.

"The Reading Brain" replicates neuron activity in a dyslexic brian while reading

No, "The Reading Brain" isn't the title of a B-horror film from the 1960s. It's a brand new installation at the Houston Health Museum that explores dyslexia.

The piece was created by Houston-based artist Sarah Sudhoff, in partnership with Dr. Guinevere Eden, Director of the Center for the Study of Learning at Georgetown University. Hanging from the ceiling of the Health Museum, it uses light-up colored circles to represent the frontal lobe activity of a dyslexic person while reading. MRI scans of dyslexic brains formed the foundation of the light activity. Sudhoff's own son has dyslexia, and she had to adapt her homeschooling of him to account for his neurodivergence. As much as 20 percent of the American population is dyslexic.

"The Reading Brain" grew out of a similar exhibit at the DoSeum in San Antonio. "Beautiful Minds: Dyslexia and the Creative Advantage" challenged visitors to see dyslexia not as a learning disability but as simply a different way some human brains work. The exhibit featured videos, stories, and art work by dyslexic individuals that show how they succeed and create, as well as a selection of brain puzzles used to teach dyslexic people.

“Even though your brain works differently, it still lights up and is beautiful to watch, a wonderful machine you have. It just means you have to navigate and pivot a little differently,” Sudhoff said.

Sudhoff's innovative bridge between science and art is a permanent part of the Health Museum's MindWorks exhibit. Like "The Reading Brain," MindWorks maps out thinking processes through light and hands-on activities. The exhibit will close on January 5, meaning visitors have a very short time to see Sudhoff's piece.

The Health Museum is a hidden gem in Museum District located a block away from the Children's Museum. It houses a variety of exhibits about the human body, such as a giant plastic colon that kids love to run through. Since opening in 1969, the museum has helped Houstonians and visitors from around the world learn about the way the body works as well well as public health protocols. As the only Smithsonian Affiliate Museum in the Houston Museum District, it has a high educational pedigree despite it's colorful and often whimsical offerings.
