On Tour – Europe & the UK – March/April 2014

Tish Hinojosa (Austin, TX) with special guest Anny Celsi (, CA)

Two acclaimed American artists present an acoustic pop/roots evening celebrating one of America’s most cherished art forms – songwriting.

San Antonio-born Tish Hinojosa has long been one of Texas’ national treasures. She has drawn numerous critical accolades for her borderless approach to music, blending Mexican folk and country music with a modern singer/ sensibility and touches of pop.

With accolades that include playing at the White House at the invitation of President Clinton and Hillary Clinton, Linda Ronstadt recording her own version of Tish’s song Donde Voy, and teaming up with artists like Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam, Nanci Griffith, Pete Seeger, Flaco Jimenez, and Los Lobos, Hinojosa’s sound has an undeniable and far-reaching appeal.

Tish’s latest self-penned , After the Fair, draws its inspiration from the sights and sounds of the St. Pauli district of Hamburg, where she lived for nine years. The album was produced by Berlin and producer Moe Jaksch and has just been released in Europe on Colosseum Records.

“A talented songwriter with an understated but utterly unaffected delivery…vivid…touching…pointed…playful…engaging…A rare gift for melody that’s perfect for Hinojosa’s lovely, relaxed soprano.” THE WASHINGTON POST “Her songs are richly detailed slices of life…Hinojosa’s is a strong, poetic, sensual, and conscious voice.” SPIN MAGAZINE

Opening the show will be Los Angeles singer/songwriter Anny Celsi. Her style has been described as “beatnik cool,” “pop-noir,” and “slightlydelic pop jangle,” and has evoked comparisons to artists like Aimee Mann, Lucinda Williams, Suzanne Vega and Jackie DeShannon. Tangle-Free World (2009) produced by Nelson Bragg of the , showed influences ranging from Bacharach to The Bangles and back; Anny’s latest self- produced album, January, once again combines Brill Building hooks with a songwriter’s eye for detail. In her live shows, Anny brings wit, soul and energy to the singer/songwriter format, proving that ‘girl-with-guitar’ has no limits. Anny’s CDs are available in Europe from Taxim Records and from Blue Rose Records.

“….it’s just the perfect music; all summery, sunshine pop with gorgeous harmonies abounding…this rootsy, pop-flavoured collection of self-penned songs is a genuine winner.” MAVERICK MAGAZINE

“Fans of Aimee Mann, Lucinda Williams, Suzanne Vega and Jackie DeShannon will find much to enjoy … the tracks on January turn back the clock to a time when pop music was taken seriously” TODAY ONLINE
