7:30pm – Lorena Leigh
“Cowgirl Mermaid” Lorena Leigh hails from the Lone Star State, a singer-songwriter / producer who weaves elements of Shania Twain’s country charm, Maggie Rogers’ indie-folk allure, Alanis Morissette’s raw emotion, and Spice Girls energy into her music. Upbeat and soulful, her whimsical underwater rodeo and high-energy live performances have captivated a growing fanbase. Rooted in a childhood love for country music, Lorena’s skills are enriched by years of professional dance training with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and being part of the NYC surf scene in her early twenties. Her influences give rise to catchy hooks, aquatic lyric narratives, and pedal-popped ukulele melodies laced with positivity. Recent performance highlights include opening for Stevie Nicks & Little Big Town (Aspen Jazz Fest), Mountain Air Music Series (Ouray), Panther Island Pavilion (Forth Worth), official SXSW stage at the Container Bar (Austin), headlining at Downtown Cowtown, The Isis Theater (Fort Worth).
8:30pm – Gina Chavez
“Her voice stops you in your tracks.” —NPR
Gina Chavez is a queer, Catholic, internationally-acclaimed Latinx pop artist who is redefining Latin music in Texas and beyond. With more than a million views on her NPR Tiny Desk, 12 Austin Music Awards, an hour-long PBS feature, and a 12-country tour as a cultural ambassador with the U.S. State Department, Chavez is ready for a bigger stage.
She closed out 2019 with a 2-page feature alongside Oprah, Beyonce and more in a book by Southern Living celebrating 100 women of the South. This year, Chavez’s genre-bending Latin pop and gutsy voice are making waves with the release of her first all-Spanish language album, La Que Manda. The album tells the story of a woman coming into her power, and boasts the perfect mezcla of organic and digital sounds, lifting her signature soaring vocals to new heights.
To bring these songs to life during a global pandemic, Chavez called on 16-time Grammy winner Thom Russo (Juanes, Enrique Iglesias), 2-time Grammy winning engineer Fernando Lodeiro (Esperanza Spalding), Grammy award winning musician/composer/producer Adrian Quesada and 2-time Latin Grammy winner Linda Briceno, the first woman ever to win Producer of the Year.
