Friday, May 1st // Llorona LIVE at The Rosebud // Flexible Ticket Price Available, $10+ // All Ages // Doors 6pm, Show 7pm // Folk, Cabaret, Ranchera

The soul of this music is found in Llorona's original compositions: allegories and folktales, songs of devotion and grief, bittersweet reflections of life and love - a vivid array of lyrical storytelling set to guitar, bass and trumpet. Trace Llorona's bloodlines back to the canción ranchera. You will find melodic and thematic elements of this traditional Mexican style, as well as thoughtful renderings of vintage ballads.

Over the last decade, Llorona has developed a strikingly original sound, drawing on folk and cabaret as translated through a deep love of alternative rock of the 80s. The vocals are dramatic. The guitars are fierce. The trumpet, emphatic. This is music to experience and contemplate; it is an invitation and you must go. On a festival stage, Llorona brings a center of stillness to the swirl of color and sensation. In a darkened venue, a sublime portal is unlocked.

Llorona is based in Eugene, Oregon and has played extensively in local venues and events, including the Hult Center and the Oregon Country Fair. Farther afield, the band has been featured multiple times at the Seattle Folklife festival and the White Eagle in Portland. Currently recording a third album, previous releases can be found here on the website and streaming on Bandcamp. Influences and those to whom the band owes a great debt: Chavela Vargas, Nina Simone, Los Lobos, Nick Cave….
