Jordan James is an enrolled member of the Grand Portage Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa, Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. Born and raised in the backwoods of the Lake Superior National Forest and the Grand Portage reservation. From an early age, he grew up listening to his father and friends hold acoustic guitar jam sessions during the long, cold Minnesota winters. With his mother driving him to guitar lessons throughout his early grade school years, Jordan ultimately learned a few chords of his own along the way. Eventually moving to New Mexico at thirteen to attend an Indian boarding school, Jordan has spent his years since college performing as a bassist and drummer for other artists in New Mexico. However, it was the COVID-19 pandemic that brought him to the forefront of the stage to champion his own blend of Indigenous-inspirited, sun-soaked rock 'n' roll.

Daniel Coburn is a lover of all things ART, and a lover of all people. A devoted musician, photographer, artist, and graphic designer, Daniel navigates life by making a loud noise in one form or another. His connection to music runs deep, shaped early by his mother, a humble guitar player and singer, and his grandfather, a fiddler who shared stages with country-western legends like Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Growing up around music and creativity, Daniel developed a lifelong appreciation for the power of art to bring people together and tell the stories that matter most. Whether through sound, image, or design, he gravitates toward creative work that captures the spirit and culture of the Southwest. A longtime supporter of artists and musicians throughout the region, Daniel believes that making art, especially together, is one of the most meaningful ways people can connect, endure, and push back against the noise of the world. Today, he continues to create and collaborate while living in Tijeras, New Mexico, with his wife and five dogs.

Joey may have been born in Arizona, but New Mexico has been his home for half of his life. A longtime fixture in the punk scene, he has been cutting his teeth in bands that embody the raw energy and DIY spirit of the genre. While his roots are firmly planted in punk, his bass influences extend far and wide, drawing inspiration from legends such as James Jamerson, Carol Kaye, Robert DeLeo, and the mighty Les Claypool, each shaping his unique approach to rhythm and groove. Like many musicians, life’s responsibilities led him to put his bass down for a time, as work and family took center stage. After the pandemic, Joey picked up his bass again, diving back into the Albuquerque music scene with renewed passion and hasn’t looked back since. When he’s not laying down the low end, you might find him enjoying the local music community, soaking up the eclectic culture of New Mexico, or simply reveling in the joy of making music once again.
