MUSICAL LINEUP - 2023

Cody Canada & The Departed

Cody Canada and the Departed are a true American rock band. The band was formed in 2011 by Cody Canada, the former lead vocalist and guitarist for Cross Canadian Ragweed after that band broke up in 2010. The band currently consists of Canada (guitars and lead vocals), Jeremy Plato (bass guitar and vocals), and Eric Hansen (drums). Due to the band's current lineup, several popular Cross Canadian Ragweed songs have made their way back into the Departed's nightly set list in addition to the new material the band has written. Canada said in a 2018 Rolling Stone interview that he was "truly happy with the way the band is now and I feel this is the band I have always wanted, and really deserved."


hooks & the huckleberries

Hooks & The Huckleberries deliver a powerful blend of country rock and soul music. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and founded in 2020 by singer Adam Hooks and guitarist Joshua Lee, the Huckleberries have quickly established a reputation for high-energy shows and hard work on and off the road.  Rounded out by the Bonham-esque drumming of Dustin Hoag and passionate bass playing of Ryan Martino, the band immediately connects with fans at venues from road-side honky tonks to downtown rock clubs.  

Their debut album, “So Far Gone,” released in 2021, has received regional and national acclaim.  Driven by Hooks’ lyrical prowess and Lee’s blend of roots guitar styles, the album takes listeners on an adventure born out of the blue skies and grit of New Mexico.  Organic, emotive, and full of natural chemistry, Hooks & the Huckleberries deliver a style we call “High Desert Country Music.”
