Some people have identity crises.
Tish Hinojosa has identity celebrations. In the hour-long second set she trotted out her western swing and country credentials, veered briefly back into traditional Mexican territory, dipped into crossover pop, and unveiled three new songs that could almost pass for indie rock. Few other artists in folk or pop touch so many bases with such authenticity an unaffected charm. As the supremely empathetic quintet negotiated a nearly all-original repertoire of 21 songs, Hinojosa modestly paraded the variegated talents that make her both an uncommonly engaging performer and a seemingly unsolvable riddle for the music industry. Hinojosa grew up in San Antonio, the youngest of thirteen daughters born to immigrant parents.
