John Francis & Leon III

Presented by our friends at Rambler Sparkling Water!

Join us for a night of live music with John Francis and The Poor Clares, with special guests Leon III.

Leon III (@leonthethird), Texas-based psychedelic songweavers step outside of their comfort zones with their just released third album, Something Is Trying To Change My Mind, and are headed through Santa Fe. The band’s core duo of Andy Stepanian and Mason Brent, will do a stripped down set on Wednesday at 8pm. They have been friends since grade school, playing together in the acclaimed country-rock group Wrinkle Neck Mules since 1999. They retained their twangy roots on Leon III’s 2018 self-titled debut, before 2021’s sophomore effort Antlers In Velvet drifted into a panoramic sound inspired by Pink Floyd and the Dead. Once again co-produced by Mark Nevers (Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Lambchop, Silver Jews), Leon III’s latest album introduces a newfound sense of brevity, packing compact songs with sly pop hooks, while maintaining their boundless experimentation.

All ages are welcome, 21+ to enjoy beverages at the bar. Tickets are not required. This event is free and open to the public however tips to the band are always welcome and appreciated!
