When New Orleans musician Alex Pianovich was searching for a moniker under which to present new material written as an artist’s rendering of that Big Easy bar band sound. Upon hearing Juarez he knew he had a name. The current incarnation of the band took shape in November 2024, when Pianovich began to cut demos with an airtight rhythm section consisting of longtime friend Will Repholz on bass and frequent studio collaborator Lee Garcia on drums. Pianovich built on this foundation with swirling guitars and twinkling honky tonk keys. With the final addition of harmony vocals from local singer-songwriter Jo Morris there was magic on the tape. ♫♪♪
