Stereohead
Stereohead was formed by members of Calumet, the Groove Merchants, and the Mark Long Band, three popular, long-time Arizona groups. With a focus on all-time great songs in several genres, Stereohead is at home in any musical setting. Jason Mitchell (guitar/vocal/bass), Eric Mobley (keyboards/vocal/guitar/bass), and Julian Mitchell (drums/vocal) swap instruments throughout a set to cover the parts of classic and modern favorites. Featuring the soulful vocals of Eric, tight 2 and 3 part harmony singing, and a unique, but familiar songlist, Stereohead delves into rock, pop, blues, soul, country, and more. In addition to performing as a trio, 4 and 5 piece versions of the band are also available, creating an even fuller sound which can feature saxophone or another instrumentalist.

Crosstown Players
Like the great funk bands before them, CrossTown Players have established an impressive reputation of bringing the groove and funky rhythms back to life.
Assembled in Phoenix, Arizona in late 2015, CrossTown Players had ambitious musical intentions from the start. Intent on having multiple vocalists, and a horn section, players were recruited from across the Phoenix Valley and surrounding cities.
December 28

Mariachi Pasion
Mariachi Pasion was formed in April 2002. The group itself started in a music class at Arizona State University. On a whim and with a whole lot of “GANAS”, eight girls thought it would be fun to play for a close relative… the rest is “HERSTORY”! The group has grown into a fifteen-member group with the majority of musicians having worked their way through their education playing mariachi music!
The group has musicians that are educators, insurance agents, financial managers, health care professionals, marketing professionals, entrepreneurs, IT professionals, accountants, and engineers. There are also several musicians currently working their way through Arizona State University.
The heart of Mariachi Pasion is the group chemistry and the common love and respect for Mariachi music.
