You step into a bungalow-style studio as a low beat tumbles through the courtyard — brushes click like percussion, laughter threads through the bass. The studio’s patio opens onto a block of the 3rd Ward where gospel choirs, university lectures and neighborhood barbecues have long shaped Houston’s cultural pulse.
