A major show takes place on June 22nd as four acts combine for a Cool Canyon Nights spectacular: Pie Sisters to open on the Patio Stage while Aaron Palacios performs the music of Juan Gabriel with Mariachi Aguilas followed by Radio Altivo performing the music of Selena!

What would Cool Canyon be without Prime Rocks, Ooh La La, playing the favorites everyone knows from classic hits to classic rock to everything you’ll want to dance to, and the ever-popular Windy City, who will be performing hits from Chicago as well as new music from favorites like Earth, Wind, and Fire. How about the music of Latin Reggae mix of Radio La Chusma, who will also be playing several songs from their new album Pura Razafari. Before they set on tour we bring you Feline Fox an El Paso-based blues and rock band preparing to release their first album “Sweet Emily”!
