A good-natured and warm celebration of Western swing, old-school country, modern alt-country, Southwestern eclecticism, and even some Blasters-inspired roots-abilly.

Details:
In its prolific body of recorded work, Tierra del Fuego takes disparate pages from the American songbook and mixes them up in the bandâs own unique style. Drawing on influences from Bob Wills to Bob Dylan, Tierra del Fuego songs typically feature big steel guitar, three-part harmonies, lyrics expressing amused awe at the ironies of the human condition, and melodies that invite you to sing along. Much as The Pogues reflected traditional Irish music through the edgy prism of the early punk scene, Tierra del Fuego plays its Americana with a sensibility influenced by the likes of Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, and the Minutemen. When Tierra del Fuego is not recording, you will find these veterans of the Phoenix independent music scene crafting new tunes in the shed or playing their sun-baked mesquite rock in the local haunts.
