Gina Chavez at the Clayton Center

Gina Chavez will perform at the Clayton Center Friday, March 31 at 8 p.m. In an industry that looks to define artists, Gina Chávez refuses to fit into a box. From features on NPR’s Tiny Desk to Brené Brown to Colbert, this queer, bilingual, genre-bending musician has become a force to be reckoned with. Chávez — a truly independent recording artist — saw the fruits of her labor pay off last year where she was not only nominated for a Latin Grammy, but was tapped to open the Latin Grammy premiere show. Only the second person from Austin, Texas and the third Latina born in the continental U.S. to receive a Latin Grammy nomination in the history of the awards, Gina continues to push boundaries and break barriers with her music. Tickets are $25 not including taxes and fees. To purchase tickets, visit www.theclaytoncenter.com, click on the link for the show, then on the “purchase tickets” link.
