Calexico + Ryley Walker

Blending indie rock with flourishes of mariachi, country, jazz and Americana, Calexico (as its name implies) makes music that draws on an entire continent of influences. The band's new record, The Thread That Keeps Us, confronts a natural disaster, written in the wake of wildfires that ravaged the band's home state of Arizona. While the subject matter can be tragic at times, the group lends a grand, cinematic scope to its heartbroken melodies. Local guitarist (and hilarious Twitter personality) Ryley Walker opens the show.
