Postcards from the Border: The Album Release Party

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the release of Postcards from the Border—the album!

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the release of Postcards from the Border - the album!

Produced by composer, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader Sergio Mendoza, this inaugural Laboratorio Arts recording is the soundtrack to the theatrical production, Postcards from the Border, that premiered this January to two sold-out audiences at Texas Performing Arts’ McCullough Theatre and brought to life the rich, often-overlooked stories of families living along the Texas–Mexico border.

At this intimate event, the entire album—six songs and three narrated postcards—will be performed live by its creators: singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez, author Oscar Cásares, and the original Postcards from the Border band: Alex Marrero, David Jimenez, David Pulkingham, Greg Gonzalez, and Sergio Mendoza. Both vinyl and CD versions of the album will be available for purchase.

Your ticket includes:

• An open bar featuring Lalo Tequila, Empress Gin, Austin Beerworks, Topo Chico, and a curated wine selection
• Tamales y más provided by La Mapachita Tamaleria (includes a vegan option)
• Dessert by Mom & Pop Paletas
  

AND last but not least - guests will also enjoy an exclusive sneak peek at our next Laboratorio Arts recording project…
