Aubrey Hays: A Wine & Music Pairing

Aubrey Hays: A Wine & Music Pairing

Sample the sounds of beloved Austin artist Aubrey Hays in a wine and music pairing concert. Taste through a curated menu of wines carefully paired to the songs of this versatile songwriter. NPR stated Hays’s “tone and emotion is rich and unguarded”. That unique characteristic of Hays’s voice and playing has helped them develop into one of Austin’s most impressive artists.

Aubrey will share a variety of songs, including some of her brand new material in a LIVE wine and music pairing presented by Wine Rack Soundtrack’s Max Puglisi. Join us in this intimate one-on-one concert experience as we get an exclusive look into Aubrey’s craft through a sensory relationship to four specially curated wine selections.

About the artist.

Born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Aubrey Hays comes from the tradition of bold, fearless singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Fiona Apple, and Regina Spektor. A master of songs that contain untold depths and unexpected instrumental twists, Hays showcases their technical skills without sacrificing the immediacy of pop music. Hays’s versatility shows them to be equally at home on an electric guitar, piano, ukulele, or vocal looper, and their command of their instruments allow them to be a dominating yet vulnerable presence on any stage.
