Friends of Dean Martinez

Recommended Posts

Friends of Dean Martinez are from Tucson, and their music reflects the sexy languor of the American Southwest. They play sad, sweet, instrumental classics (most of them originals), with Bill's steel guitar acting as both lead guitar and voice. Though the mood is rather laid-back, they're not to be mistaken for lounge lizards--people just have a hard time categorizing non-rock music. Far from being a "novelty" act, Friends Of Dean Martinez are just one of many contemporary bands rediscovering the emotional power of music beyond rock 'n' roll.

They used to be called Friends Of Dean Martin, but our lawyer told them to anticipate legal trouble, so the change was made.

I own a previous album (A Place In The Sun) and I must say I was really impressed by them. I was playing Calexico in the bar one night and some stranger asked me who they were. He recommeneded me this group. If you like that mariachi style then this band is for you.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
