What better way to treat your ears than with some California country music sung by three of the most amazing voices you’ll hear?
Calico the Band will be playing the MIM MusicTheater in Phoenix on Saturday, June 6th.
Calico the Band is Kirsten Proffit, Manda Mosher, and Aubrey Richmond. All are great and dedicated musicians, each with accomplished and celebrated solo careers under way. That is, until Calico brought them together. As powerful as each is individually, an undeniable magic occurs when all three come together. It’s at the heart of their debut album, Rancho California, which is replete with singularly strong songwriting chops, rich harmonies, and a pervasive Americana passion. Like the expansive spirit of Laurel Canyon that spawned so many famous bands and artists, now comes this new spirit, rooted in the vast valleys and canyons of Los Angeles.
Calico stands for California country. It’s about that eternal place where the big city meets that lonely desert, where the freeways converge at the ocean. It’s about timeless roots music; it’s about voices singing in harmony. CALICO the band extends the tradition of groups like Crosby, Stills & Nash, Fleetwood Mac and Eagles, both in terms of its Los Angeles roots, and by being a band of songwriters. Formed in 2013, CALICO the band started touring right away performing over two hundred shows a year, which led to a National Touring Artist of the Year award at the Los Angeles Music Awards in 2013. CALICO played at STAGECOACH Festival 2014 along with many of today’s top Country and Americana acts, and were joined onstage by special Foo Fighter guests, Chris Shiflett & Rami Jaffee. You can hear CALICO the band’s music on TV shows such as ABC’s hit series Nashville, and NBC’s the Night Shift.
