Prepare to be captivated by the raw, hauntingly beautiful voice of Guatemalan singer-songwriter Mercedes Escobar, live at the Vermilion Fine Arts Theater on September 27th at 7 PM. Known for her unique fusion of blues, country, and Latin influences, Mercedes’ vocals have been described as a spellbinding mix between Linda Ronstadt and Howlin’ Wolf.
