MUSIC | $25 | ALL AGES | Jessica Gerhardt and D. Marin Perez are joining their voices together to support CHIRLA, an organization that defends the rights of immigrants, with an evening of music rooted in spirituality and liberation.
Jessica Gerhardt (she/her) is a queer, spiritual indie-folk singer-songwriter with a heart for justice and solidarity with those on the margins. She draws inspiration from her Catholic and Jewish roots and lays claim to them in her debut full length record Alight Beyond the Sea. The album centers around themes in Psalm 139 - God's presence in grief and joy, darkness and light, and knowing oneself deeply and authentically. She will celebrate the first anniversary of the record's release with this concert.
For Cuban-American musician D. Marin Perez, songwriting becomes a place of real residence — to hide and be known, to seek and knock. Tutored by 60s rock and religious hymns from an early age, songwriting became a place to integrate an ever-evolving sense of family, religion, politics (the negotiations of our shared life together), belonging, love, and loss. These themes persist in his writing as a faith-rooted community organizer. DMP lives in Los Angeles, California.
