Live Tonight on Millennium Stage: QUEER. LATINX. TEXAN.

Gina Chavez is a wife, philanthropist, and an award-winning independent musician. She is a 2020 Latin Grammy® nominee for Best Pop/Rock Album, and a 12-time Austin Music Award winner, including 2019 Best Female Vocals and 2015 Austin Musician of the Year. Her NPR Tiny Desk concert has more than 1.3 million views, and her hour-long PBS special is available nationwide.

Gina’s music is deeply personal. Her passionate collection of bilingual songs takes audiences on a journey to discover her Latin roots through music as she shares her story of life in Texas as a married, queer Catholic.

Gina tours internationally as a cultural ambassador with the U.S. State Department and runs Niñas Arriba, a college fund she co-founded with her wife for young women in the gang-dominated El Salvador. She is featured alongside Oprah, Beyonce, Mahalia Jackson, Dolly Parton, and many more in Southern Living’s new book celebrating “100 extraordinary women who have left their indelible mark on the South and beyond.”
