Led and curated by singer-songwriter and violinist Carrie Rodriguez, Laboratorio is a live performance that celebrates and explores Latine culture through world-class musicianship, visual arts, and storytelling. Presented as an annual four-part concert series, each edition showcases the renowned Laboratorio house band, headed by Rodriguez, in collaboration with a rotating lineup of distinguished guest artists.

For this unique Old-Time Radio Hour Edition, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriters Gaby Moreno and Mireya Ramos join Rodriguez and band onstage for a magical evening of music and nostalgia. Together, they will perform original material and classic covers featuring harmonies reminiscent of Trio Los Panchos and The Andrews Sisters. Adding to the vintage charm, KUTX hosts Laurie Gallardo and Alex Marrero step in as radio hosts for the evening, complete with a dramatic "radionovela" reading and retro-style commercials that bring the golden age of radio to life. Join us for an unforgettable night where past and present meet through music, story, and cultural celebration.

Laboratorio Arts is a creative laboratory built to explore and celebrate Latine culture. Serving as an incubator and presenter of adventurous performances, recordings, and films, we place a spotlight on our diverse roots and shared culture through music, art, and storytelling. 

WHAT WE DO

We believe in the power of art to foster empathy and create a more peaceful, united society. To that end, we are working to build a community that gathers to learn, hear important Latine perspectives, and experience the life-changing transformation that only live performance can provide.
