Calexico Adds Fall Dates

This is shaping up to be a great season for concerts! After a busy year of touring the States and Europe, Calexico has announced several new tour dates in December to finish out the year.

Dec 2 – Tucson, AZ @ Rialto Theatre (w/ Annuals)
Dec 3 – Albuquerque, NM @ Launchpad (w/ Annuals)
Dec 4 – Flagstaff, AZ @ Orpheum Theatre (w/ Annuals)
Dec 5 – Tempe, AZ @ The Clubhouse (w/ Annuals)
Dec 8 – San Francisco, CA @ The Fillmore (supporting Los Lobos)
Dec 9 – San Francisco, CA @ The Fillmore (supporting Los Lobos)

The Tucson show on December 2 continues Calexico’s annual tradition of throwing a year-end hometown benefit concert. A portion of the proceeds will go to KXCI, a local community-sponsored radio station. Proceeds will also go to Humane Borders who, along with other organizations like No More Deaths and Border Angels, offer humanitarian assistance to those in need through more than 70 emergency water stations on or near the US – Mexico border, ultimately trying to quell the hundreds of deaths every year in the Arizona desert due to dehydration.

A representative from Humane Borders will be at all Calexico’s headlining Southwestern shows to answer questions or provide insight into their cause. Also, the tour as a whole will be presented in association with Music for America, an organization connecting concert-goers with social justice organizations and political issues they might not be aware of both nationally and in their own local communities.
