Frank
McCulloch y sus Amigos (Frank McCulloch and Friends)
have been playing together most Sundays at Java Joe's Downtown coffee
shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the past seven years or so.
Mostly Mexican or New Mexican in origin, their music is comprised
of songs that many of us in the southwest grew up listening to or
singing.
In addition to performing
regularly at Java Joe's Coffee Shop, the group also plays for occasional
art openings, benefits, and receptions around Albuquerque. The group
consists of Frank McCulloch, Melody Mock, Luis Campos, and various
other friends who join them on Sundays at Java Joe's.
