Chris Arellano’s deeply personal Americana weaves together the Norteno music of his Northern New Mexico upbringing with Alternative  Country and Blues influences-for a signature style that he calls Nuevo Americana. Fused with song and story, Spanish and English, his transcendent lyrics move listeners with emotion and passion.

Jimmy Stadler For more than four decades, Jimmy Stadler has been playing music from coast to coast. In addition to writing and recording his original music, he’s also both a session musician as well as a music teacher.  Born in Ohio, but moved west to enjoy the outdoors, Jimmy has called Taos home for more than 30 years. Jimmy has loved music and played it as long as he can remember. A Different Light has been a labor of love as he wrote and recorded it himself with some help from some old friends.
