April 7: Squeezebox Bandits
Squeezebox Bandits sound a whole lot like Texas. Their mix of Tejano and Country Music is a true reflection of their local upbringing. The co-frontmen of the group, Abel and Vincent, met as teenagers while playing a benefit concert at a jail in Fort Worth. The two grew up in the predominantly Hispanic North Side under the influence of a tapestry of cross-cultural music. Both men recall hearing radios blast everything from Tejano heavyweight Ramon Ayala to Nashville country star Dwight Yoakam. "Tex-Mex music is influenced by traditional Mexican and American music, just like the food," according to Casillas. "It’s kind of like Spanglish. Tex-Mex and Tejano [music] are just about the same thing." The band's audience draws a wide and varied crowd, catering to Anglo, Mexican and Latin American music lovers.
