Wine Rack Soundtrack ft. San Gabriel

About the Show

Sample the sounds of bedroom-pop musician San Gabriel in a wine and music pairing concert. Taste through a curated menu of wines carefully paired to the songs of this rising dream-pop artist. The project, by multi-instrumentalist James Bookert, feels like a glitter board of surf rock and 80’s pop, soaked in reverb guitars and rich synthesizers. His single “Tape Machine” caught the attention of KUTX late in 2021 and San Gabriel enjoyed frequent features airplay as KUTX’s Artist of the Month in January 2022.

San Gabriel will share his story, craft, and some of his unreleased material from his new album “Employee of the Month” in a LIVE wine and music pairing presented by Wine Rack Soundtrack’s Max Puglisi. Join us in this intimate one-on-one concert experience as we get an exclusive look into the music through a sensory relationship to four specially curated wine selections.

San Gabriel

Austin bedroom-pop musician San Gabriel is releasing his debut EP “Employee of the Month.” A dreamy, nostalgic pop collection of songs, written and recorded in an east Austin liquor store.

Fusing 80’s style synth hooks with modern reverb-drenched guitars and synthesizers, San Gabriel creates a kaleidoscopic, nostalgic dream-pop sound.

Named after the river where he spent countless summer nights learning guitar and jamming with childhood bands, San Gabriel features KUTX Artist of the Month (January 2022), and 3-time Austin Music Award recipient James Bookert (Whiskey Shivers/Wild Child) splitting duties as writer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. After having gained experience writing with musicians like Trinidad James, Raissa, producers Nate Donmoyer, Odie, and sharing the stage with DJ Khalid and Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect 3), Bookert began writing and recording for San Gabriel behind the counter at a liquor store as a way to entertain himself during his night shifts.
