FREE CONCERT: Monte Montgomery w/ Marina Rocks

7:10 PM – Levitt Youth Spotlight presented by Texas Trust Credit Union 7:30 PM – Marina Rocks A native of Austin, Texas, Marina’s musical journey began early. As a child, she played her guitar tirelessly—“’til her little-kid fingers bled”—and by age 12, her mother gifted her a Marshall amp stack instead of a party dress, marking the start of a lifelong devotion to music. From 2005 to 2015, she led the Houston power trio The Guppies, sharing stages with iconic acts like Aerosmith, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Deep Purple, and Joe Satriani. After going solo, she’s opened for luminaries such as Terri Hendrix, Lloyd Maines, Joe Ely, Hayes Carll, Shake Russell, and Jesse Dayton. Following the loss of her mother, Marina transformed profound grief into creative momentum by building her own home studio, dubbed Two-Fisted Pixie, and released the album Austin to Houston. Released in 2023, Texcentric is a six-song EP recorded in Houston, reflecting both classic roots blues and modern sensibilities. Austin to Houston charts a deeply personal journey, underpinned by storytelling, social insight, and gritty conviction. Marina produced, engineered, and performed nearly every part herself—while notable collaborators include Lloyd Maines on pedal steel and others on bass and percussion. Marina’s third full-length LP S.O.S. TEXAS is a bold fusion of Texas boogie, Americana, country-rock, world-beat, and bluegrass. Reviews praise Marina’s authenticity, musicianship, and genre-blending style—likening her to Lucinda Williams yet with her own polished edge. Highlights include her fluid guitar, commitment to storytelling, and her “formidable edge that’s entertaining & she can play! (credits Old Quarter, R.W.Boyd, and Rob E.)
