When I hear someone is touring Australia and I’m not familiar with their work, I love taking a deep dive and discovering what they’re all about. My latest discovery is Cordovas, a Nashville band that produces what the press release calls cosmic Americana. It’s a pretty off-the-wall description, but once you listen, it all makes sense. It’s a little Southern rock, but these guys push the envelope too much for it to sit neatly in that box. It’s incredibly cool.
Take a listen to their four albums and get yourself across their music, if you aren’t already. Cordovas have built a devoted fanbase in the US and Europe for their outstanding live shows, and they’re bound to do the same in Australia. If there’s any justice, they’ll be moving on to bigger venues next time, so see them up close and personal while you can!
