Chevel is helping us all remember the power of pedal steel and good stories. With bold sincerity and a sparrow’s natural instincts, Chevel sings modern country music that toes tradition’s best lines. The New Mexico native first charmed America as the champion of season 15 of The Voice, nurtured by coach Kelly Clarkson.
Chevel spent the next year checking off a long list of red-letter firsts, including opening shows for Clarkson, Little Big Town, Brothers Osborne, Lee Brice and more, along with singing God Bless America before the Indianapolis 500. On March 20, 2020, Chevel released two highly-anticipated new songs: the moving Everybody’s Got a Story, written by Kacey Musgraves, Shane McAnally, and Brandy Clark; and Mama Got the Chair, a clever call-and-response to George Strait’s iconic The Chair penned by Nora Collins, Nick Donley, and The Voice alum Dave Fenley. With Southern Boy and The Letter as her third and fourth offerings from her forthcoming EP, fans can hear more and order her new album at chevel.org.
Proceeds from the concert will go to the St. Vincent Hospital Foundation. The St. Vincent Hospital Foundation raises and manages funds to help CHRISTUS St. Vincent meet the healthcare needs of our local community and beyond. Our work ensures that everyone who comes to CHRISTUS St. Vincent receives patient-centered care in a compassionate and comforting environment that allows patients and their families to heal and thrive.
The St. Vincent Hospital Foundation supports CHRISTUS St. Vincent’s highest priority needs, including clinician training, surgical and diagnostic equipment, modernized or expanded facility initiatives, our many talented associates and providers, service line or department campaigns, projects that increase patient and family comfort and support, and a wide variety of community health education initiatives.
A special reception before the show with Chevel will be available to purchasers of the VIP ticket, which also includes seating in the first three rows of the historic St. Francis Auditorium in downtown Santa Fe. The reception includes performance by violinist Rachel Kelli.
About the New Mexico Museum of Art
The New Mexico Museum of Art houses more than 20,000 works of American and European art, including paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, photographs, new media, and conceptual works. The focus of the collection is on American art, with an emphasis on artists working in the Southwest.
The museum is known for its extensive collections of the Taos Society of Artists and Los Cinco Pintores, the five painters who moved to Santa Fe in the 1920s and helped establish the community as a famous art colony. The museum also features an important collection of Georgia O’Keeffe paintings; works by the great woodblock printmaker and painter Gustave Baumann; and American photographers, including the Jane Reese Williams Collection of women photographers.
The New Mexico Museum of Art is the oldest art museum in the state. Built in 1917, the structure itself is a work of art, considered a masterpiece of Pueblo Revival architecture and the best representation of the synthesis of Native American and Spanish Colonial design styles.
