Sparrows & The Last Train celebrate the release of their new album, Under Sonoran Skies, with a special full-length concert at La Rosa. Nearly 18 months in the making, the 10-song album is an expression of what the Tucson ensemble calls “Sonoran Soul from the Postmodern American West” … music grounded in the desert and in the lives and shared memory of the borderlands, while looking toward what lies ahead.
Led by Peter Dalton Ronstadt and Liz Cerepanya, the six-piece band brings together their own songs with music by Alan Garr, Victoria Armstrong and John Prine. Conceived in the spirit of a classic LP, the album was shaped into two approximately 22-minute sides, selected from 15 songs recorded during the sessions. The September 1 concert will include the complete album as well as music from those wider sessions.
The evening celebrates the release of Under Sonoran Skies on CD and digital platforms, with vinyl to follow. September 1 also happens to be Peter’s 41st birthday, so it will be an album release show and birthday celebration in one.
Sisters Bar & Restaurant opens at 5pm. Information and reservations on the website.
