About this Event

Stephanie Urbina Jones is a genre-defying American recording artist, singer, and songwriter whose music bridges cultures and traditions with heart and soul. Raised in San Antonio, Texas, she draws on her Mexican heritage and deep love of country music to craft a unique sound she calls “Honky Tonk Mariachi”—a blend of classic country, mariachi, and Americana that honors both sides of her identity.   Her  most recent single and video “Falling Fearlessly” , a sweeping love song from her lauded album Manuel’s Destiny. The recording features Vince Gill on background vocals, adding a warm, emotional layer to the track.

For Stephanie Urbina Jones, recording “Falling Fearlessly” also serves as a heartfelt tribute to one of her earliest musical heroes, Linda Ronstadt. Inspired by Ronstadt’s fearless movement across genres — from country rock and pop to traditional Mexican music — Urbina Jones has forged her own signature blend she calls Honky Tonk Mariachi, honoring both her heritage and her San Antonio/Nashville roots.
Jones built her career performing in venues from honky-tonk dance halls to international festivals, touring in 14 countries and earning recognition as a #1 Texas Country Radio Artist and #1 Billboard Country Songwriter.   She has shared stages with legends—including duets with Willie Nelson and performances with Vince Gill & The Time Jumpers—and appeared at major events like the CMA Music Festival and Americana Music Festival.  
A historic milestone in her career came when she became the first artist ever to perform with a mariachi ensemble on the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage, breaking barriers and celebrating her bicultural roots on one of country music’s most revered platforms.  
Jones has released acclaimed albums such as Tularosa, which reimagines country classics through her cross-cultural lens, and Joyas de Vaquera, a bilingual reinvention of the classic Rhinestone Cowboy.   Through her art, she continues to unite musical worlds, elevate Hispanic culture in American roots music, and inspire audiences with stories of heritage, hope, and belonging.
