Calexico

Calexico achieve critical success for their swampy mix of neo-mariachi tunes, indie-rock riffs, jazz swagger, Mexicali blues, and electronic funk. Calexico, from Arizona, was co-founded by Joey Burns guitar/vocals and John Convertino drums. Their latest albums, Feast of Wire and Convict Pool, offer haunting tales of love, death, and betrayal in a variety of musical idioms that reflect the many cultural influences of the American southwest. The layered nuances of Calexico’s “tumbleweed rock” take you down to the border! Get your tickets early for this one - their last tour of Western Canada was a sell out!

“It’s swampy, mariachi-inflected roots rock, with enough steel-guitar twang to make it sound like a long drive down a dusty desert road.” -Esquire
