Venue
o Thursday Afternoon Acoustic Event in the yard outside The Hotel St. Cecilia.
o Hotel St. Cecilia is a secluded estate in Austin’s South Congress district. Named in honor of the patron saint of music and poetry. These accommodations take inspiration from the experimentation of 60’s writers like William Burroughs, the daring and extravagance of groups like The Rolling Stones in the early 70’s and the defiance of convention embodied by artists like Miro and Warhol in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

•Debut album certified

sales of over 100K
•Nominated for a
Grammy (Best Latin Rock
or Alternative Album) and
3 Latin Grammy Awards
•Won MTVLA Best New
Artist of 2008
•4.7MM+ plays on
MySpace
•Top 10 on Mexican
Twitter with 376K+
followers
•Rolling Stone called
Ximena’s debut “one of
the strongest debuts from
a female singer-
songwriter since Norah
Jones"
At age four, Ximena Sariñana’s acting career began.
Eleven films and three telenovelas later, Ximena
decided to pursue her passion for music, earning a
scholarship to study at the Berklee School of Music.
Her debut album, Mediocre, was released in 2008 in
Mexico, where it quickly shot to #1 and went
platinum. Now, Ximena has completed her first English
speaking record for Warner Music, which will be
released in early 2011, produced by Greg Kurstin (Lily
Allen, Devo, The Bird and the Bee), Dave Sitek (TV on
the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foals) and Natalia
Lafourcade.
Jack’s Mannequin
If you had to describe Jack’s Mannequin in one word that
word would be powerful. The solo project of Something
Corporate’s Andrew McMahon allows the much
respected singer/songwriter/piano player to cut loose and
craft music that is piano-driven rock/pop which is an
emotional and inspirational reflection on the many roads
life takes us down.
