Performers for the Thacker Taos show:

Musical Guest: CW Ayon (pronounced “I own”) Las Cruces, New Mexico –  “Hill Country Blues, Chihuahuan Desert, hook-laden groove.”

Ayon’s current album, Bounce Boogie & Bump, includes the single, Chicken Wing.

The album hit #1 on the Roots Music Report.

Musical Guest: El Tigre Mariachi from Taos High School (NM) (2023 photo)

Since their founding at Taos High School in 1980, the El Tigre Mariachi band have built a reputation as showstoppers. Membership requires students to not only learn to read music but also to undergo hours of rigorous rehearsal and grueling auditions. While certainly a music of Mexico, mariachi also has roots in Spain, Cuba and Africa.

Literary Guest: TBA
