Stephen Sanchez + The Brook & The Bluff at Arizona Financial Theatre

“Now, listen here folks…our story begins 59 long years ago at a club called “The Angel”…and that club was owned by a no good, rotten Mob Boss by the name of “Hunter”. And it was there that a young buck Troubadour would meet Hunter’s angel-faced gal…Evangeline. Drawn by forbidden love, the pair would spark up a secret romance that would land the two souls in…well…hot water. But, before the hot water folks, Angel Face is out now for your listening pleasure.”

The Troubadour Sanchez will return…

In recent years, The Brook & The Bluff’s incandescent harmonies, winning arrangements, and observational acumen have placed them firmly at the center of the indie-folk revival. They are now, by far, one of the most successful young bands at folk-rock’s amorphous contemporary edge, fusing the craft of the past with the ideas and avenues of the present. Renowned for their electrifying live performances, the band has made a name for themselves on the live circuit, playing electric sets at Bonnaroo, Hangout, Firefly, and Wonderfront. Having previously toured with Mt. Joy, Noah Kahan, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, among others, they followed this up with a 2023 headline tour that saw sold-out shows in major markets across the country.

Last year, the group released their latest full-length record, Bluebeard. The album is a career defining record for the band and the early fan response suggests it will be a breakthrough moment for them. Singles “Long Limbs,” “Tangerine,” “Headfirst,”& “Hiding,” all tracks that show the depth of this album, a mix of indie folk, fused with touches of funk and deep grooves.
