TEQUILA ROCK REVOLUTION Tequila Rock Revolution is the brainchild of GRAMMY-nominated Austin Latino rocker/electric violinist Haydn Vitera. The show is a metal-fueled, mariachi-infused spectacle of sight and sound playing homage to the tradition of mariachi through an unprecedented fusion with modern metal and electronica. “Metallized” mariachi standards and well-known metal/rock covers are weaved into a performance rife with dark imagery and Mexican folklore and brought to life with incredible lighting effects and stunning video.

CROSS THAT RIVER
Cross That River represents a significant movement in American history where black cowboys lived and helped settle the West. The unsettled West of 1860 provides a new life and new dreams for Blue, a run-away slave, who escapes to Texas to become one of America’s first black cowboys. This compelling tale of freedom presents a different, untold page in this complicated chapter of American history. Each song tells a unique story, at times joyful, sometimes tragic, but mostly a poignant chronicle of enduring perseverance. Award-winning musician Allan Harris empowers you with an inspiring story of hope and freedom. FEBRUARY 10, 2023
