The Tiarras

Meet The Tiarras: Tori, Sophia, and Tiffany Baltierra, a dynamic trio of multifaceted artists who effortlessly blend genres and cultural influences to create global music that knows no boundaries. Sisters turned bandmates, The Tiarras have embarked on a journey that defies conventions and embraces sonic exploration.

Hailing from a Mexican-American heritage, The Tiarras draws from the rich tapestry of musical diversity surrounding their upbringing. Their vibrant compositions seamlessly weave together elements of rock, Latin, pop, soul, reggae, and blues, resulting in an eclectic yet refined sound that challenges the very notion of genre.

Fuelled by a passion for community and inclusivity, The Tiarras’ music is a conduit for spreading positive energy and empowering messages. Their tracks, like “Soy Chingona” and “Let Love Free,” resonate far and wide, gaining recognition on prestigious platforms including NPR Alt.Latino, Mitú, Grimy Goods, and the Texas Standard.

Having graced stages internationally, including notable performances at SXSW Sydney International, and ACL Fest 2024, The Tiarras look ahead to a future brimming with promise.

Committed to releasing more original music that defies expectations and embraces their global influences, their journey is one of breaking boundaries, sparking positive change, and leaving an indelible mark on the music landscape.

Natalie Price

“‘Ameri-kinda.’ That’s how Natalie Price describes her music, a combination of catchy melodies and smooth, clear vocals that fit firmly into the Americana genre, with a quirkiness weaved into her lyrics that bends toward indie-folk.

On the fittingly self-titled Natalie Price, she explores complex emotions and experiences through relatable, confessional tales in the singularly authentic manner that has garnered her recognition around Austin as one of the city’s most up-and-coming singer-songwriters.

‘Natalie has the distinct ability to blend lyrics of depth and feeling with absolute ear-worms of melody,’ says Ben Jones of Beet Root Revival, one of Price’s many supporters, ‘There are always little nuggets of wisdom.’

Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Price’s early exposure to music was mainly church gospel tunes and contemporary Christian radio. Looking back, she describes her writing as a reaction to the shiny, glossy, Christian culture songs she was surrounded by; ‘Christian music tends to get tied up with a perfect bow at the end,’ she says, ‘But that’s not how life actually is. Not everything gets resolved.’

When Price moved to Austin, she found a community of musicians and songwriters who showed her that playing music could actually be a real profession. ‘I always had the drive to play music,’ says Price, ‘but my family never really understood what I would do with that. So I initially had a hard time wrapping my head around it too.'”

Part of Sun Radio’s mission is to support local musicians

Texas Radio Live is a continuation of Larry Monroe’s program, Texas Radio. When Monroe moved to Austin in 1977, his goal was to put Austin music on the radio in the form of records, live performances, and interviews. Soon after he joined KUT in 1981, he started a program called Texas Music, which was soon called Texas Radio. Texas Radio primarily spotlighted the recordings of Texas musicians, but occasionally featured a live guest or broadcast interviews taped by others. Monroe joined Sun Radio in 2011 and brought his programs, Blue Monday and Phil Music, with him, and also desired to bring back his Texas Radio program. Sun Radio founder, Daryl O’Neal responded to this by suggesting they create a live version of it. O’Neal then pitched the idea to Rob Lippincott, owner of Guero’s Taco Bar, who was thrilled at the idea of having Larry Monroe doing a program from Guero’s. Monroe then solicited the help of David Arnsberger… and Texas Radio Live was re-born! Texas Radio Live continues today after Monroe’s untimely death in January 2014; veteran Austin broadcaster Chris Mosser now carries the torch from Half Step on Rainey Street.

The Sun Radio Recharge program has enabled Sun Radio to provide financial relief to local musicians through deferring the costs of electricity bills and paying artists to perform.
