JUST PASSING THROUGH
International Singer at Seeker Vineyards
Leticia (Tish) Hinojosa recently traveled through the area and
stopped to do a fall concert at Seeker Vineyards. Tish’s music
is easy to listen to. Her commentary rounds out her music in a
personal, and relatable style.
“I’m gonna find me a new song to sing,” declares Tish on
the title track of her new album, “West,” her first since 2013.
Tish returned to Austin after nearly ten years in Germany, a
failed marriage and two serious operations.
“Music flows through cracks and scars,” she sings on a
tribute to “My Good Guitar,” which tells the story of how Tish
repaired a prized acoustic guitar. With wood clamps and gorilla
glue from a hardware store she made it whole again. “We’ve
both been through a lot, and now we’re back in action…this
album is definitely about renewal,” she says. “Getting back on
my feet, regaining my health, and creativity.”
One of 13 children born to Mexican immigrant parents in
San Antonio, Tish has dedicated her career to playing music
from the southwest, starting out in Tejano before moving on

to singer/songwriter folk, border music and country. Tish’s music blends
folk, country, Latino, and pop. She effortlessly sings in Spanish and
English. “West,” is her eighteenth album. Her first was in 1987. Tish has
received numerous awards and performed on radio and TV in the United
States and Europe. She was invited to sing for President Clinton at the
White House.
