Brace yourself for a uniquely West Texan blend of storytelling, scholarship, and satire when Brandon Seale brings “The Gospel According to Cabeza de Vaca” to Ferguson Motors in Sanderson on November 22 at 7ish PM.
This one-of-a-kind evening will trace the cultural footprint left by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca—the 16th-century explorer who wandered across Texas and northern Mexico after a shipwreck turned into an eight-year odyssey. Seale, best known as the voice behind the acclaimed podcast A New History of Old Texas, will present tales from the trail, focusing on how Native Texans left an indelible mark on Cabeza de Vaca and early Texas history.
The event promises more than just a historical deep dive. Expect “middling guitar and really mediocre singing” as Seale delivers a self-deprecating but heartfelt performance, followed by a crowd-pleasing Corn Boy Sing-a-Long.
It’s part lecture, part campfire concert, and all heart—a celebration of Texas’ layered history and the characters, both past and present, who make it unforgettable.
No tickets required—just show up ready to learn, laugh, and maybe sing along.
