About this concert
Join us in Unity's comfy listening space for an evening of song and story featuring highly acclaimed Austin-based singer-songwriter Tish Hinojosa with opening duo Amber Norgaard and Sabra Faulk.
One of 13 children born to Mexican immigrant parents in San Antonio, Texas, Tish grew up in two worlds. She bridges these worlds through song, singing in both English and Spanish, pioneering a sound that blends folk, country, Tejano and pop music. Her warm stage presence, soothing melodies and heart touching stories welcome the listener into this world.
Her honors include performances for presidential and gubernatorial inauguration events, winning Indie Folk Album of the Year from NAIRD (National Association of Independent Record Distributors) for 1992’s “Culture Swing,” and winning Las Primera (The Firsts) award from MANA, the largest organization of Latino women. She’s collaborated with Joan Baez, Booker T. Jones, Flaco Jimenez, Pete Seeger and Dwight Yoakam. She has recorded as an independent artist as well as for A&M, Warner Bros, and Rounder Records and has been a featured artist on Austin City Limits, A Prairie Home Companion and other NPR programs.
With over 20 CDs to her name, Tish’s distinct sound has gained her much critical acclaim. She has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe and continues to draw a loyal and growing audience.
Amber Norgaard and Sabra Faulk will open the evening. Described as “Tucson’s folk-rock goddess” (Natural Awakenings magazine), Amber is a nurse-turned-songwriter who uses music as a healing art to foster compassion, spirituality and promote positive social change. Sabra Faulk, a former Tucson Folk Fest headliner, is an award-winning songwriter, bassist, vocalist and acoustic guitarist who has been a staple in the southern Arizona musical community for the past 30 years. Together, they weave sweet harmonies and a rootsy, soulful, fun performance.
This will be a very special evening. Come join us!

My first time seeing Tish and first show at Anderson Fair.
I was lucky to catch Tish swinging through Houston. I have only been listening to her for a few months even though she is a long established artist. Her songs are so honest and deeply sentimental, they pull on all the heart strings. The intimate setting made for a great show, not to mention the accompaniment of keys, guitar and oh my goodness the accordion.
On top of the great show, Anderson Fair is a wonderful venue. The owner greeted us before we even got inside and suggested I move my car so they could keep an eye it and avoid break-ins. Tim was very welcoming and friendly. The venue is great, it's intimate, there is cafe style seating and they offer food and beverages of course. Cash only bar but that was the only drawback if I can even call it that.
Thank you Tish Trio and Tim for the great night.

Tish Hinojosa Biography
“I’m gonna find me a new song to sing,” declares Tish Hinojosa on the title track of her new album, West, the first since 2013’s After the Fair. Since returning to Austin, TX, from a nearly decade-long sojourn in Germany five years ago, Hinojosa has had to heal, both emotionally and physically from a shattered marriage and a pair of serious surgeries. That rebirth comes through in this classic country-flavored collection, co-produced by longtime collaborators Marvin Dykhuis and Chip Dolan at Fire Station Studios in San Marcos, TX.
“Music flows through cracks and scars,” she sings on a tribute to “My Good Guitar,” which tells the story of how Tish repaired a prized acoustic guitar, handmade by noted luthier John Dillon, which she purchased back in 1992. “Though we are weathered, we’ve both pulled through,” read the song’s lyrics, artfully comparing artist and instrument.
“She sat broken in my closet for the last seven years,” explains Tish. “I couldn’t face looking at her. I decided to buy some wood clamps and gorilla glue at Home Depot, and repair it, just like I’d seen on the DIY Network. We’ve both been through a lot, and now we’re back in action.”
Both guitar and owner sound as good as new and vibrant as ever, given the evidence on West, its title song inspired by an epiphany experienced by Tish during a road trip through Tucson, AZ, where she viewed a dazzling sunset followed by the rumbles of an incoming thunderstorm.
“This album is definitely about renewal,” she says. “Getting back on my feet, regaining my health, and creativity.”
