Since then, her life has been woven from many strands: Hispanic culture, farmworkers’ and immigrants’ rights, the women’s movement, advocacy for bilingual education. . . and let’s not forget the music. Hinojosa has embraced country, pop and folk music, played it straight up or mixed, in a hauntingly beautiful voice that illuminates the music from within. She started writing her own material when she was in her mid-twenties, spent some time in Nashville but finally turned away from country-western and back to her roots. Her career took off from “the songwriters’ haven of Austin” with the 1989 release of her first album, “Homeland.”

Twelve albums, many record labels, and some hard personal traveling later, Tish Hinojosa is in full bloom as writer and performer. Treat yourself to an intimate and diverse evening with an artist who knows how to put her inner and outer worlds into song.
