Original Score by Calexico

Even though this indie band has charted on the Billboard 200, garnered consistent critical acclaim, and achieved international stardom, they will always be Tucson’s favorite local band. Their sound so accurately and compellingly evokes the desert borderland vibe. Simply put: Calexico is the American southwest in waveforms.

We’re honored that their love for this community was channeled and expressed in an original score for us. Check them out.
