About Durango Blue

The result is a duo that sounds like a band, described as rootsy, country and bluesy in the vein of John Hiatt, Jackson Browne, JJ Cale and James McMurtry. The 60-minute music show is suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Two musicians who play with the fullness of a band. The Weissenborn and lap steel add genuine texture to the rootsy grooves — a satisfying 60 minutes for fans of country, blues and Americana-inflected songwriting.
