Sonya Jevette

Sonya Jevette is playing a solo set at the Chaparral Crossing Farmers' Market on Sunday, August 2. It's a single-performer afternoon, so the focus stays on her voice and her guitar rather than a full band.

Jevette is a Texas soul and R&B singer-songwriter, and that's exactly where the set pulls from. She'll be working through a mix of her own original songs and a selection of classics—the kind of songs that sit comfortably in the soul and R&B tradition she's built her sound around. Hearing her do it solo changes the dynamic from a full-band show, putting the songwriting and the vocal performance right up front.

Because it's a farmers' market setting, the music is part of a larger afternoon. You can wander through the stalls and grab whatever you need while she's playing, or just find a spot to listen. It's a low-pressure way to catch a local artist in her own city, with the music running alongside the market's usual activity.

If you're around Austin on Sunday, August 2, you'll find her at the Chaparral Crossing Farmers' Market.
