SCOUT BAR to host a range of national acts to Clear Lake in coming months Nickelodeon's Drake Bell & Disney's Emily Osment to perform all-ages show at Scout Bar Tuesday, March 22 By Rhonda Meredith Tickets are on sale now for the Drake Bell & Emily Osment tour. It’s an all ages show at Scout Bar on Tuesday, March 22 with doors opening at 6 p.m. In fact, Clear Lake is only one of three stops the tour is making in Texas! The other two stops are Corpus Christi and Dallas. Neither of those makes sense to travel to when we have a premier venue right here. So don’t wait to get your tickets. Get them now! Thomas Wilson, the owner of Scout Bar, is excited to bring this opportunity to the community. “This show is something fun for the parents and kids. We have had tremendous success and support in the past with the (American Idol alum) David Archuleta shows at other Scout Bar locations. I am excited to be able to seize the opportunity and broaden Scout Bar’s format as well.” I had to press Wilson for the real reason… “Drake Bell plays Indie rock music, and I like it,” laughs Wilson. There you have it! There has been a lot of talk about this tour and it’s sure to be a good one! Both Bell and Osment have built a huge fan base with their TV and musical careers. What you may not know is before Bell became a successful actor as one of stars of Nickelodeon’s “Drake & Josh”, he co-starred with the one and only Roger Daltrey of The Who

in the 2001 movie “Chasing Destiny.” Daltrey is credited for having taught Bell how to play the guitar. He has received nine Kid’s Choice Awards and released two albums. His third album is due out this year.

Osment has been a media darling for some time now. She was Hannah Montana’s best friend on the Disney Channel’s hit series for five years and won a Teen Choice award. Her highly anticipated debut album “Fight Or Flight” was just released through Wind Up Records. Opening the show is a pop band from New Jersey called Action Item. You may have heard about them opening for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez! Your family doesn’t want miss this. Scout Bar typically isn’t open on Tuesday nights, but is making an exception for this show. It’s a safe environment for all who attend and you’ll be talking about the memories for a long time to come! Advance tickets are $26 and can be purchased online at frontgatetickets.com or charge-by-phone at (888) 512-SHOW. Tickets are available at Scout Bar’s Box Office during its normal operating hours (Wed-Sun, 8p-2a). Scout Bar is located at 18307 Egret Bay Blvd in Houston.
