// The Band

Hi! Desert, a rollicking desert rock and roll band from the California high desert — where danger, humor, and beauty collide. Raw, cinematic, a little dangerous, a bit sarcastic, and honest to the bone. Fronted by Matthew James Walin on Vocals and Guitar featuring Los Poncho Tones, Josh Sonntag on Lead Guitar, Jon Ossman on Bass, and Denny Weston Jr. on Drums and Percussion. Debut album Washboard Road, is out now on Bitemark Records. Roll the windows down, keep a careful grip on the wheel.
