| Gabe Garcia sings with a maturity and sound
far beyond his actual 26 years. As a '98 graduate of Lytle
High School, it was evident Gabe and his aspiring voice would
touch the hearts of country music lovers throughout south
and central Texas.
Raised in Lytle by Mr. and Mrs. Juan Garcia Sr. and brother
Juan Jr., Gabriel was influenced early on by artists such
as Merle Haggard, Rick Trevino, and George Strait. He has
opened for various well known country artists such as Blackhawk,
Sherrie Austin, Ray Price, Kitty Wells, Richochet, and even
performed for George W. Bush.
Among the many of his local and state honors, Gabe and
his band recently won the South Texas State Championship
in the Colgate Country Showdown. In 1997 Gabe won the 1997
Y100 Battle of the Bands and was the featured performer
two consecutive years at the National FFA Convention. According
to Wiley Alexander, Gabe is a personable and super-talented
icon who pays great tribute to country music.
Gabe's current album Tennessee Tango and upcoming sophomore
album is receiving airplay on 92.5 THE OUTLAW San Antonio,
KCWM 1460 AM Hondo, 103.7 FM San Antonio, 95.3 The Maverick
KVWG Pearsall, and The Ranch KRNH 92.3 FM, Kerrville.
