Society Hall, the performance space, concert hall and community gathering place at 400 Ross Ave. in Alamosa, is proud to welcome the Arellano Brothers with Jimmy Stadler back to the Society Hall stage, on Saturday, February 15th, 2025 at 7:00 pm, with doors opening at 6:00. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Green Spot in Alamosa or at the link below. The concert will also stream live on the Society Hall Facebook Page and on You-Tube.Chris Arellano and his brother Rodney on bass and vocals are both natives of Costilla, New Mexico, perched right on the Colorado border at the southern end of the San Luis Valley. They both grew up playing in their father’s band around southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Chris's musical journey has since taken him from the Musician’s Institute in Los Angeles, to major label record deals in Nashville, through performances in New York City to running his own music teaching academy in Oregon.
The Arellanos have a remarkable range of musical influences and expressions, from the Norteno music they grew up playing in their father’s band, to the high desert folk/Americana music Chris learned to love in Red River, New Mexico, while learning to write songs with his friend and mentor Eddy Lee Bullington, well known to area audiences as a member (with Michael Hearne) of the popular South by Southwest band, and also as a member (with Don Richmond) of the regional favorite Hired Hands. Chris and Rodney are able to blend these different musical streams seamlessly, and delightfully, in the music that they call “Nuevo Americana” (also the title of Chris's 2nd CD), creating a true expression of the beauty, richness and diversity of the musical heritage of this area.
If you add in Chris's superb command of multiple stringed instruments and voice, honed by years of experience as a recording artist, studio musician and producer in Nashville, with the amazing sibling harmony he and Rodney so effortlessly create, along with Rodney's rock-solid bass work and you have the ingredients of a remarkable performance, and an amazing musical evening. Chris and Rodney will also be joined at Society Hall by Taos legend Jimmy Stadler on keyboard and guitar
.Chris's second CD, released on Alamosa's own Howlin' Dog Records, features several original songs, two of his father's Norteno-styled tunes, as well as songs from his mentor Eddy Lee and Nashville legend and friend Verlon Thompson. The CD has received rave reviews from fans and DJ's alike, and is in heavy rotation on regional radio. Two cuts from Arellano’s previously released self-titled album held #1 positions on New Mexico Radio Charts and Cuentas Que Te Vas and Puno de Tierra were respectively the #6 and #3 most requested songs of the year in 2015. This CD project also received a Los 15 Grandes De Nuevo Mexico Music Award from the New Mexico Latin Music Academy. In 2016 the album received nine seperate nominations for New Mexico Hispano Music Association Awards, including Songwriter of the Year, Artist of the Year, and the Rising Star Award.
The board of Society Hall, a 501c-3 non profit organization, invites lovers of music of all kinds to join them Saturday, February 15th at 7:00 pm, for an evening of the beautiful and moving music of Chris and Rodney, the Arellano Brothers, with Taos legend Jimmy Stadler playing along! Doors open at 6:00. As always, wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks will be available. Society Hall – where community celebrates!
