About this event

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…

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
