This Thursday, the Vinyl Voices Podcast crew will be teaming up with Violeta Álvarez Photography for a special episode filmed before a live studio audience as part of Violeta’s Fresh Arts residency, Casa de Cultura. But it’s not the first time we’ve joined forces with the acclaimed and prolific Houston photographer. A couple of years ago, was honored to have her shoot our interview with country superstar Amanda Shires. Even without watching the full episode (it is on our YouTube channel, link in comments), you can tell by Violeta’s photos what a fun, chill and entertaining time we all had. She just knows how to capture a moment and this was a special one for us.

If you want to see more of Violeta’s work, the residency runs through late August. Or just stop by Thursday night for the taping (link to free tickets in comments) when we have the pleasure of working with Violeta (and our musical guests !) again.

This one features members of the hot Houston cumbia band Cucucuy, which is releasing new music soon and will be our musical guest at next week's show taping as part of Violeta Álvarez Photography's Fresh Arts residency, Casa de Cultura.
