Calexico's desert and Latin-tinged Americana sound mixes the soaring mariachi horns of a Spaghetti Western soundtrack with the twang and energy of surf rock and the contemplation of hard-travelin' singer-songwriters. These mysterious, expansive tunes have landed the group on several movie soundtracks and involvement in collaborations with greats like Willie Nelson and Nancy Sinatra. Calexico is fresh off its latest release, Algiers, which was recorded in a historic church in New Orleans. Sat 9 p.m.
