Headlining the Christmas Posada is country singer and 2008’s Best New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music, Jack Ingram. Ingram’s recording career has spanned more than 20 years, recently releasing his eighth studio album, Midnight Motel. Ingram’s hits include “Wherever You Are,” which was his first number-one single; other well-known hits include, “Lips of an Angel,” “Maybe She’ll Get Lonely,” and “Barefoot and Crazy,” among others. Ingram also was awarded “Song of the Year” in 2018 by the Academy of Country Music for “Tin Man” by Miranda Lambert, which he co-wrote.

Opening for Ingram is Charley Crockett, a San Benito native, whose unique approach to American roots music is “a mix of Texas blues, classic country, and Cajun soul,” according to his website. Crockett recently released the album Lil G.L.’s Blue Bonanza, an album that includes Crockett’s interpretations of old-school country songs originally performed by George Jones, Ray Charles, among others. 

The Christmas Posada will also feature a musical performance by Mia, a young Austin, Texas native who has been performing since 2015. Mia recently won a Tejano Music Award for “Best New Artist – Female.”

This event is free and open to the public. All media and the public are invited to attend.
