Party: Fernando special matinee performance! ALL AGES

Argentina-born Fernando Viciconte came of age musically in L.A. fronting the hard rock band Monkey Paw. He moved to Portland, Oregon, in 1994 and released Season in Hell, a downbeat collection of country rock, in 1996. His sophomore effort, Widows, saw a harder-edged approach that at times recalled his Southern California days.

The Spanish-language album Pacoima (1998) represented an abrupt shift as Fernando explored his So-Cal barrio roots, swinging from border rock to Tex-Mex to Mexican R&B. Sure enough, he changed gears yet again for Old Man Motel (1999), indulging in a powerful collection of relatively straight-ahead rock.

2001 found Fernando leaving Cravedog for Domingo Records and releasing Dreams of the Sun and Sky, a startlingly gorgeous collection of gauzy, narcotic tracks with Latin and country-folk accents. In 2006, Fernando released Enter to Exit, an album which No Depression called "Utterly beautiful and convincing."
