Peter Rowan's Free Mexican Airforce featuring Los Texmaniacs

Time: 7:00pm     Day: Thursday     Doors: 6:00pm     Ages: 21+ Ages    
This Event Has Ended

Tickets are $46 advance, $50 day of show (including all service charges). They are also available by phone through Hold My Ticket at 505-886-1251.

This show will have pretty limited capacity.  We are sticking with the 300 ticket limit.  We probably won't need pods since it will be so easy for people to spread out.

Bang Bite and El Sabor Food Trucks will be on hand!

The Free Mexican Airforce is flying again! This is Peter Rowan plugged in, including some of his most loved songs—"Come Back to Old Santa Fe," "Ride the Wild Mustang," "Midnight Moonlight" and, of course, "Free Mexican Airforce"! New material has been composed as well and will be featured in their performances.

Peter is joined in this version of the Free Mexican Airforce by Los Texmaniacs, a Grammy Award-winning band comprised of Max Baca (bajo sexto), Josh Baca (accordion),  Noel Hernandez (bass), Danny Martinez (drums) and Peter Rowan on guitar and vocals. They are carrying on the musical tradition started in the late 70s when Peter and the great Flaco Jiménez joined forces to record for Flying Fish Records and tour the US and the UK. Peter and Flaco collaborated for over a decade and their friendship has endured!

During the 1980s, Flaco discovered the teenage bajo sexto virtuoso, Albuquerque's own Max Baca, who became his band leader and musical amigo. Max Baca called Rowan in 2018 and suggested some Texas shows with his own Tex-Mex conjunction, Los Texmaniacs. Peter reunited with Flaco for the Texas shows! "It was like old times," says Rowan. "Los Texmaniacs are a modern progressive bunch of guys who grew up musically listening to what I played with Flaco. They know my songs and they include me as part of their tradition!"
