Alba Huerta & Winter

On this episode of Snacky Tunes, Darin Bresnitz heads to the Lone Star State for a conversation with Alba Huerta, the award-winning bartender and owner of Julep in Houston. Alba shares how her childhood backyard parties shaped her hospitality style, her journey to mastering the craft of cocktails, and what it meant to win a James Beard Award while giving back to her local community through mentorship. Then it’s a trip into the archives with a visit from Samira Winter of the band Winter, recorded live at Dangerbird Records in Silver Lake. Samira reflects on her college days in Boston and performs a few tracks off her shimmering release Infinite Summer.
