Born
and raised in San Antonio of a large
Mexican-American immigrant family, Tish was brought
up in a bilingual background. Both her language and
her musical tastes developed in this family
background serving her well for her eventual stardom
as a bilingual performer. She first came to
Kerrville in 1979 as a New Folk entry and was one of
the winners that year. She has since appeared on the
festival eight times and toured with the festival's
on-the-road shows. She co-hosted the 1995 Kerrville
Music Awards with Kevin Welch, and is a member of
the Kerrville Folk Festival Hall of Fame. She won
Female Vocalist Awards in 1993 and 1994, Texas Album
of the Year in 1994, and the Community Service Award
for 1993-1994-1995. Over the past ten years Tish
Hinojosa has emerged as a strong, poetic, sensual
voice whose songs distill the elements of folk music
and her Hispanic roots to create an intensely
authentic and personal sound. Her new bilingual CD
on Warner Bros. has earned loyalty from listeners
with AAA radio as well as Americana and National
Public Radio.
