* WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5TH 2025 – RIBAS-DOMINICCI AT OPERA AUSTIN FESTIVAL

I’m really excited to present my chamber opera, Ribas-Dominicci, in Austin at the Opera Austin Festival on Saturday November 15th. This is a treat for me because I grew up in Austin and most of my work is presented outside of Texas. I hope my friends and family come an enjoy this opera that is based on story of Air Force hero Fernando Ribas-Dominicci who was shot down during Mission El Dorado Canyon in 1986. I grew up with Fernando’s son and his mom, Blanca helped me with the libretto. Get your tickets HERE

* TUESDAY JULY 1ST – JAMONADA IV

I retreated from the social interwebs of the world in June. I faced some personal hardships compounded with being physically burnt out from nearly three months of touring + close to twenty performances that left me feeling empty and creatively lost. The break was a major mental re-shift for me and truth be told I didn’t miss being active online or on social media. In fact I am now looking for a new way to balance the marketing needed for my music happenings in a healthier way so I can create more. I spent the month running, dreaming, composing about 20 more minutes for one of my operas and recording two new country tunes with my friends titled, I Left My Heart in Marfa and Take Me Back to Odessa. I’ll debut these songs live in Barcelona for Jamonada IV on July 19th!
