A vocal advocate for female guitarists, Fabi Reyna cut her teeth in Austin as a six-string live music assembler. During her teenhood, the She Shreds head piled high schoolers into rented rehearsal spaces, her mom’s house, and any other concert locales she could lay her hands on.: “Being 15, doing that, and seeing the impact that had on my peers, it was so fun,” recalls Reyna, phoning in before heading out on tour with her cumbia-inspired band Sávila. “Throwing shows in Austin is valuable to me, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop doing it.”: After relocating to Portland, Reyna founded She Shreds Magazine, a fervent force for women’s representation in the music industry. The 5-year-old, string-centric hub returns to Texas for a six-band spectacular, their first collab with local promoters C3 Presents. The mini-fest follows a recent shutdown of She Shreds’ annual unofficial SXSW showcase.: Citing unexpected permit problems, the fem-fronted lineup successfully scampered from Kinda Tropical to Sahara Lounge.: “The fact that 30 minutes later, we were back up and running, it was exactly what I needed to remember how She Shreds started,” says the 26-year-old. “It also showed me that we’re becoming too much of a brand to throw these sort of underground, guerrilla shows, so I need to figure out how to keep that punk vibe going.”: For Reyna, pairing up-and-comers with established acts on her inclusive show bills maintains the mag’s DIY ethos. Rising Texas acts Topo Chica, Blushing, and Clare warm up the Scoot Inn stage. Another avenue, she says, is embracing her own identity and intuition as the periodical’s editor-in-chief.: “Me being a Mexican, queer woman, and doing the things that I do is radical and revolutionary,” shares Reyna. “I just listen to myself. She Shreds is not She Shreds unless that happens.”
