CALEXICO
with The Acorn

Saturday, November 22

Calexico is a band from Tucson, Arizona that shares a sun-bleached border with many performers and musical styles. Comprised of two core members, Joey Burns and John Convertino, Calexico became its own entity in 1996 with the release of the Spoke LP. A wide variety of tours, performances (including the Montreux and North Sea Jazz Festivals) and recording sessions as Calexico and with other artists (Neko Case, Victoria Williams, Richard Buckner, Iron & Wine) allowed the band the opportunity to develop as artists.

Two years after "Garden Ruin", Calexico returned with a new full-length record, "Carried To Dust", on September 9, 2008. This new record is a shining example of Calexico's commitment to constantly molting and redefining who they are.
