Interview

Gina Chavez interview: putting your body where your lyrics are. By Patrick O’Heffernan

October 9, 2015

    (Los Angeles) I first encountered Gina Chavez in a tiny venue in San Francisco and began following her career and her incredible personal story. Chavez is a bilingual Latin-folk singer/songwriter from Austin, Texas, part of the American Latin Music genre that I love.  She blends the sounds of the Americas – cumbia, bossa nova, pop, reggaeton, folk,  rock –  whatever – into  earworm songs, some with pointed social commentary and stories of hardship and bravery. And she has put her body where her lyrics are, volunteering to work with poor people in a very dangerous El Salvador.  Her latest independent release, Uprooted, topped the iTunes and Amazon Latin charts.  I was fortunate enough to talk with her from her tour while she was in New Mexico, heading for a concert in Hollywood, Saturday night at the Hotel Café.   Patrick.

We were so glad to make it down last Sunday to the Whisky a GoGo to catch The Relapse Symphony on New Years Day The Other Side Tour. It was the second day of the tour and the crowd was lined up early, wrapping around The Whisky. It has been quite a while since I have seen a line around the block so early. The lineup on this tour is incredible and it was a sold out show! You have a night fueled with high energy with sets by The Relapse Symphony, Eyes Set To Kill, Darksiderz, Get Scared and headliners New Years Day. We had a chance to catch up with Bret and JC before their set and are pleased to bring that interview to you here: One thing is for sure, if anyone entered the doors of The Whisky that night, being unfamiliar with The Relapse Symphony, they definitely left as new fans! They blew everyone away with their set! Every time we see Ray, JC and Bret we think they exceed our [Read More]
