Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Caesar treated about 1,500 fans to a spontaneous concert at a Houston area park Saturday afternoon in northwest Houston, before it was shut down because he didn’t have a permit, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Deputies with the Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 5 arrived at the park around 2 p.m. and talked with Caesar, who told them he did not have a permit to hold a concert at the park, said Jeff McShan, a spokesperson with the agency.<\/p>\n
TEXAS REN FEST: <\/strong>Texas Renaissance Festival kicks off its 51st year<\/a><\/p>\n According to the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office, a special events permit is required for an organized, temporary event with an estimated number of participants and spectators of 100 or more.<\/p>\n About 1,500 people were in attendance to see the Grammy-winning artist perform, with social media videos circulating and showcasing their disappointment when the artist was only able to perform momentarily.<\/p>\n “Why can’t Houston ever have nice things man,” one Instagram user wrote under Caesar’s\u00a0Instagram post announcing the location of the concert.<\/p>\n The singer on Friday had hinted at making an appearance in a cryptic\u00a0Instagram post on Friday that showed an image of a map of Houston with the caption “Should I?” The next day, he took to\u00a0Instagram once more to say he was arriving at Bear Creek Pioneers Park to perform a free concert at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n After the show was shut down, Caesar returned to\u00a0Instagram to post a story about the event.<\/p>\n “My problem isn’t with the police, it’s with their employers,” one story reads. Caesar was also critical of how deputies dispersed the crowed, though\u00a0McShan said it was mainly peaceful.<\/p>\n No arrests were made and no one was injured, McShan said.<\/p>\n Caesar is expected to release his\u00a0fourth album, “Songs of Spergy,”<\/a> this month. It’s unclear if he will return to Houston promote the album.<\/p>\n
