LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 6, 2014) — The University of Kentucky Singletary Center for the Arts will bring some Latin flair to the Bluegrass this month with the musical stylings of Diego Garcia. He will bring his distinctly Latin sound to the Singletary stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15.
Prior to Garcia's journey as a solo artist, he was the frontman for the popular New York indie rock act Elefant. His first single, "You Were Never There," features delicate Spanish guitars, lush string arrangements, and a distinctly Latin flavor drawn from his Argentine roots. With the release of his debut solo album, "Laura" in April of 2011, Garcia saw great success, having NPR name his debut, "one of the top 25 albums of the year." In October 2013, he released his newest album, "Paradise."
Tickets for this event are $26 for general admission and $13 for students with a valid UK ID. Transaction fees will be added. The tickets can be purchased via phone at the Singletary Center Ticket Office at 859-257-4929, online at www.SCFATickets.com, or in person at the ticket office.
A part of the UK College of Fine Arts, the Singletary Center for the Arts presents and hosts around 400 artistic, cultural and educational events annually for the university community, Lexington community, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
