Episode 11

Join us as we sit down with our host, Sarah LaPierre, and this week's guest, Victoria Cardona, a multi-talented musician, Cuban-American West Palm Beach native, and one-woman band. Together, they explore the vibrant music scene in Palm Beach County, Victoria’s Afro-Caribbean and jazz-inspired journey, and the creative process behind her debut album. Victoria shares her journey from self-teaching guitar after hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan’s "Texas Flood" to becoming a looping artist with performances spanning Palm Beach County to international stages like Spain and the Canary Islands. Learn how her Cuban heritage, technical skills, and love for storytelling come together in her music.
