Tommy And The High Pilots
Tommy & The High Pilots formed early 2008 in Santa Barbara,CA, gathering their throwback sound from a wide variety of classic rock, blues and country influences. They are firm believers in the powers of Rock N' Roll and touring as often as possible. They would truly appreciate your support in purchasing a copy of their debut effort "EVERYNIGHT" which is available at shows and on itunes. After that purchase is made they would like to thank you from the bottom of their little hearts. Tommy & The High Pilots consider their fanbase family and would love to see that family expand and grow as much as humanly possible in years to come!
Maria The Mexican
Influenced by traditional Mariachi music, Maria The Mexican is a hybrid of Mexican folklore and Rock. For ten years, Teresa and Maria Elena Cuevas performed with Marachi Estrella founded by their grandmother Teresa Cuevas in 1970. As one of the first all female mariachi bands in the country, Maria Teresa Alonzo Cuevas is a pioneer in the Hispanic musical community. Her band flourished in the 80s but was struck by tragedy when four of the seven members were killed in the Hyatt Skywalk collapse in 1981. Once Teresa recovered she began teaching her grandchildren Mariachi music.
In 2000, Teresa and Maria began exploring other genres of music while simultaneously co-directing Mariachi Estrella. Today the fusion of Maria The Mexican is mixed with a touch of blues, soul, funk, and rock n' roll enhanced by the musical knowledge and sounds of Garrett Nordstrom. With a southwestern flare and melancholy motifs, Maria The Mexican rocks it out in Spanish and English with a host of emotion.
