Anderson Fair is one of the oldest folk and acoustic music venues in continuous operation in the United States.[1] Located in the Montrose area of Houston, Texas, it has been called an "incubator" of musical talent for the folk scene, especially during the folk music heyday of the 1960s-1980s.[2] Notable performers who credit Anderson Fair as an important part of their careers include Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Robert Earl Keen, Lucinda Williams and many more. Griffith's album One Fair Summer Evening was recorded at the venue. It has been featured in the documentary, For the Sake of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair directed by Bruce Bryant and produced by Bryant and Jim Barham. [2]
