Portland's Mexican Gunfight was formed in 2006 by four old friends and musical brothers in arms who had worked together in various combinations since around 1985. While definitely a rock band, the band's stylistic influences abound: blues grit, country lyricism, the soulfulness of gospel, a rare jam thrown in ... occasionally even tinges of Latin and jazz. Their decades of playing together in notable NW ensembles have honed these musicians' songwriting, chops, harmonies and dynamics into a unified, expressive and powerful whole.

Happy Holidaze Everyone!

We’ve got a couple of December shows for some holiday cheer.

A full night of Gunfight on the 20th at the White Eagle, and then opening up for Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons on the 29th at the Jack London Revue. We’re super psyched for both shows!

Hope you can join us for one or both of these and do some reveling!! See the Shows page for more info.

Cheers!!!
