Peter Ronstadt y el Tucsonense: Sunday, July 30, 2017 | 06:00pm-09:00pm

Regrettably Papa Mike passed away last August.  But as with all good musical families,  the tradition of the family continues on.  Michael G., Petie, and often Bobby along with a multitude of other excellent musicians continue to play the music that is exemplary of southwest cultures . Multi-instrumentalists and solo performers in their own right, they present an exciting repertoire that preserves the traditional Southwestern and Mexican songs of their heritage while offering innovative original material. New compositions place them on the cutting edge of multiple, blended genres, stretching the boundaries of folk, blues, jazz and beyond. Rich harmonies sung in English and Spanish are accompanied by outstanding cello and guitars. Individually and together, Stateside and across the pond, the trio’s worldwide touring and recording credits include such diverse artists as Linda Ronstadt, Los Lobos, Dixie Hummingbirds, David Bromberg, Nydia Rojas, Tish Hinojosa, Muriel Anderson, and Mariachi Vargas, to name a few. In 2012 three veteran musicians – Alex Flores, Sam Eagon – came on board with versatile talents to form the six-piece ensemble Ronstadt Generations y Los Tucsonenses (the Tucsonans). First performing with Ronstadt Generations at a local Tucson gig, the sextet cemented the relationship with the recording Prelude. Alex, Sam  bring to the table a variety of experience and influences. Playing tenor saxophone, bass and drums, respectively, they add a colorful dimension to an already powerful presentation that respects tradition while exploring innovation.  We bring you this talented group nearly every last Sunday of the month.
