Sundays in the Plaza: Laura Benitez and the Heartache (Country / Americana)

Join us for a series of relaxing afternoons in the plaza this summer from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. Each week will feature a live music performance from a local band or performer. Not to be confused with Tuesdays in the Plaza, this is a great opportunity to bring a picnic, sit back, relax and enjoy the melodies.

About the music: Storyteller, content creator, songwriter and all around creative force, Laura Benitez has been making her mark on stage and screen for more than two decades. Specializing in classic country music, she recently wrote the theme song for the Dingus of the Week podcast created by popular author and activist Lyz Lenz, and her song "Our Remember Whens" received an honorable mention in the American Songwriter lyric contest in January of 2016. Taking her musical cues from the heavily rock influenced Bakersfield sound, and her lyric inspiration from her favorite songwriters Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn, Laura began writing songs in 2008.
