Live Music: Mineral Hill
Formed in Albuquerque in 2017, Mineral Hill serves up eclectic, genre-hopping juiciness (country, funky jazz fusion, honky tonk, bossa nova, psychedelia, polka, etc.). Fans call them “the house band at the human dog park.”
Finalists for “Best New Mexico Song,” “Best Bluegrass Song” and “Best Album of the Year” in the 2025 New Mexico Music Awards, Mineral Hill promises a rousing, gloriously nerdy time for all.
Jonathan Mack is a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter who was born in Nome, Alaska in the dead of winter and has spent the subsequent years trying to get warm. Mack writes and sings Mineral Hill’s “horrendously lovely… gloriously nerdy songs,” which bring everyday experience into rich focus with humor, joy and a willingness to explore the range of human experience. In the words of a fan, “Fantastically bright and dark. Painfully relieving.”
Lauren Addario hits things with sticks. Most frequently drums, but she’s not particular. Her creative, tasteful groove-oriented playing is the heart and lungs that bring each song to life. She takes her timing seriously, particularly when it comes to her 2:00 afternoon coffee and chocolate. (For real; try to stop her and see what happens!)
John Funkhouser is a very tall man who has played music almost continually, with short breaks for sleep, since he was much less tall. He plays keyboard, melodica and sings harmonies. He taught at Berklee College of Music for 20 years, has played jazz around the world, and moved to Albuquerque in 2021. He brings an enormous openness, curiosity and capacity for joy in music.

Ross draws inspiration from a melting pot of roots music - blues, Americana, folk, bluegrass, country, funk & jazz – crafting songs that balance introspection with lightheartedness. His guitar work features slightly off-the-map chord voicings to add unique twists, and his approach to mandolin is to look beyond the traditional territory of bluegrass.

Live Music: Magi & The One Heart Orchestra
Magi and The One Heart Orchestra
Authentic Roots Music with a Dynamic Fusion of Reggae, Country, Funk, and Blues
Magi and The One Heart Orchestra deliver a unique, heartfelt sound rooted in tight reggae grooves and enriched by touches of country, funk, and blues. Their music is a powerful vehicle for peace and positivity, offering a refreshing authenticity in a world often overshadowed by hype and pretense. As Ras Elijah Tafari aptly describes: "Daniel's mission to be a voice of peace and reason brings an authentic and heartfelt sound that is refreshing. In a sea of hype and pretense, Daniel Wilson brings the audience together through reggae, yet keeps them together through positive encouragement via a message everyone can feel."
Daniel Wilson, known as “Magi,” discovered his passion for music at age 16, learning guitar to accompany his singing. Inspired to write original songs following the events of September 11, 2001, Magi has consistently used his art to channel resilience and hope. After relocating to Durango, Colorado, he became a key figure in various reggae projects, culminating in his current endeavor, The One Heart Orchestra.
Magi’s early band, Magi Nation, featured the legendary Rasta Stevie—renowned MC of Reggae on the River—as their drummer. This collaboration led to opportunities to perform alongside reggae icons such as Ky-Mani Marley, Collie Buddz, Tarrus Riley, and Kabaka Pyramid. In 2021, Magi began collaborating with Dane Foltin of Austin-based Lion Heights to record his debut album, Words Not Written, which was released in 2024. Dane reflects on the project: "Working with Daniel (Magi) on the Words Not Written album was a smooth and fun experience. We had good energy collaborating together, and I think it shows in the final product. We would most definitely work with him again." Today, Magi collaborates with One Heart Orchestra band comprised of Nuriya (backing and lead vox), "Redfoot" (drums), Levi (bass), Eric Luc aka "Joe Bummer" (lead guitar), and Ian Boletchek aka Dr. Zuke (keys and Saxophone).
Magi’s music resonates with themes of love, community, and empowerment, as exemplified in his live performances and recordings. With accolades such as being described as exuding “loving warmth, jivetastic flowing energy” by Colin Gilbertson of Motel SoCo, Magi and The One Heart Orchestra are poised to continue inspiring audiences through their evolving artistry.
Live Music: Jackson Magyar (Lightweight Travelers)

Live Music: Ethan J. Perry & The Remedy Band
Ethan J. Perry & The Remedy Band self-describe their music as "Americana indie technicolor jazz." The band’s sound is unique; some have described it as akin to cosmic country. Jaimie Hawkins, an independent music reviewer, said of their music, "[it’s like] riding a horse through a desert in space." Additionally, Rachael Perrell of The Levee Breaking writes, “It’s honest… It’s the super long drive home to visit, remembering the dog you grew up with, and maybe even quietly missing a long-put-out relationship.”
Ethan J. Perry & The Remedy Band released their debut album, Sundial, in 2016 to critical acclaim and international attention, including airplay on KEXP (an international station based in Seattle). Regarding the release, Elmore Magazine writes:
“Sundial is steeped in a true, old-school Americana sound… The lush twang of guitars and delicate pluck of mandolin usher in the album with ‘May The Sun (Come Ever Shining),’ though the record indeed reels through a kaleidoscope of influences and instrumental stylings.”
The band recently completed their sophomore album, Cosmic Green Turtle, and is currently releasing singles from the record. The next single, titled “Around The World,” is slated for release in the summer of 2026. Stay tuned!
