From smokey dive bars to big festival stages, this band has what it takes to move the people.
January 15th – Tiny House of Funk (R&B/Blues/Soul)
Tiny House of Funk brings the same swagger and groove as the legendary band Little House of Funk in a compact, electrifying package with Sonoran soul packed into every beat.

Tiny House of Funk makes every stage feel like a BIG party!
February 19th – Barnaby and the Butcher (Country/Americana)
Barnaby and the Butcher play the broad genres of Alt-Country and Americana. Their originals and covers run the gamut of classic country, dark country, blues, and rock; which they perform with a style evoking deep nostalgia while feeling entirely new. At their center is Damon Barnaby and Joshua Butcher, who bring powerfully complex guitar, warm, emotive vocals and lyrics to the table.
March 19th – Znora (Rock/Blues)
Znora is an award-winning three piece rock band out of the Arizona desert. Adrian Negrete writes the original tunes, sings lead and plays guitar with a mix of varied influences from Chuck Berry and Santana to SRV and Hendrix. Joshua Montano brings his fierce drum skills and passion for 90s rock drummer styles like Dave Grohl and Chad Smith. Johnathan Rohde fills out the low end on the bass and blends rich harmonies.
April 19th – Cisco and The Racecars (Bluegrass/Folk)
Cisco and the Racecars specialize in bluegrass, folk, and old time Americana music. Their energetic style and diverse arrangements and instrumentation create a unique blend of old and new. Under the management and vision of Francisco Briseno, Cisco & The Racecars has taken its place as one of the premier bluegrass bands in the Southwest. In addition to performing, Cisco & the Racecars mentors the young players of the Jam Pak Blues 'N' Grass Neighborhood Band, a local after school music program that gave several of the band's members their start.
