san gabriel

San Gabriel is the solo recording project of James Bookert, known for his past work with Whiskey Shivers, and collaborations with artists like Harvey Mason Jr., Ester Dean, Trinidad James, DJ Khalhed, and Anna Kendrick on the Pitch Perfect 3 soundtrack. After stepping away from Whiskey Shivers and enduring personal health challenges, Bookert began recording the deeply personal debut album - written and produced entirely during off-hours while working at a liquor store in East Austin, Texas.

Affectionately named after his shifts in the liquor store, San Gabriel’s debut record, Nights and Weekends, is a collection of synth forward optimistically melancholic songs, chronicling Bookert’s tackling of lost love, grief, and grappling with an uncertain future both musically and professionally.

In furtherance of Share It Music’s mission, a portion of proceeds from all sales of San Gabriel’s music will be donation to Heath Alliance for Austin Musicians.
