Solidarity for Sanctuary

By: Laurie Gallardo

Solidarity for Sanctuary began as a series of concerts in 2017, created by artist manager and activist Doris Muñoz, who put the shows together to help raise funds for her family’s immigration fees. But it soon evolved into a bigger, more proactive platform, amplifying the voices of immigrant communities through music, art and advocacy.

This week, Solidarity for Sanctuary presents another outstanding line-up of performances by Carla Morrison, iLe, Alaina Castillo, Lido Pimienta (“Eso Que Tu Haces” from the album Miss Columbia is featured on today’s Austin Music Minute), Combo Chimbita, Nitty Scott, Kaina, and recent 2020 Tiny Desk contest winner Linda Diaz. The show starts at 6 p.m. (Central) tonight, Tuesday September 1, on the Amazon Music Twitch channel.

This is a lot of awesome musical discovery to lose yourself in. Go for it.

Everybody! Conga Line!

It’s always the same. Your AMM host soaks in every sweet mellow groove of “Simply Belong To You” by Austin outfit Shinyribs, then waits ’til the very end for Kevin Russell to hit those high notes. What a treasure. Shinyribs is a free-flowing musical melting pot in the local scene, consisting of so many ingredients […]

Heaviosity

Austin heavy psych-rock trio and KUTX Artist of the Month alum The Well is winding down a spring tour, following several tour dates across the U.S. with Swedish doom metal outfit and fellow badasses Firebreather. Just […]

Be True

This’ll get you going, pure joy in music form. Austin-based R&B funk/soul outfit Honey Made is the kind of band that sets the tone the moment they hit the stage, bringing infectious grooves and the kind of call-and-response energy that ignites any crowd in an instant. It’s also a big reason why Radio Coffee and […]

Unleashed

This is probably one of the last opportunities you’ll get to see A Giant Dog for awhile, at least in a headlining capacity like tonight’s Sagebrush show. True, A Giant Dog is opening for Dinosaur Jr. at Lakeline Park on April 29, bringing the polar opposite vibe of Soul Asylum‘s scheduled acoustic set that night. […]

Featuring members of Unknown Relatives and Think No Think, ruthless protopunk annihilators Narrow Haunts has been performing and terrorizing the locals for two years now, taking on opening slots […]
