Joey Burns and John Convertino, the charismatic core of Calexico, have garnered a dedicated following for their genre-defying blend of Americana, cinema noir, desert jazz, TexMex tango, Latin rhythms, and French chansons throughout their illustrious career. While albums like The Black Light and Hot Rail elevated their star, it was Feast of Wire in 2004 that propelled them into the musical stratosphere.
Join the celebration of two decades of one of the greatest albums to grace our aural atmosphere and witness the return of Calexico to our Southern shores. In the process, uncover one of the Surf Coast’s best-kept secrets – the nostalgic Lorne Theatre.
Before immersing yourself in the musical feast, make a pitstop at the seaside tavern, The Clam, led by renowned chef David Moyle. Starting from 12 noon on Saturday, enjoy a leisurely drink or snack, accompanied by the melodic tunes of Sky High Trio (Mike Gurrieri, John Bailey, and Woody McDonald). And after Calexico’s performance, extend the festivities with Milo Eastwood, hosting one of his legendary parties until The Clam’s shell closes.
