Mapache, Tim Hill

They say raccoons are nature’s little bandits. By using the Spanish word for the furry little creature as their band name, California duo Mapache give off something of an outlaw vibe. Their placid brand of pop-Americana conjures images of dusty figures out on the range, taking life as it comes. The pair’s tunes are unhurried and deliberate, floating by like leaves on a lazy river twisting through a dusty landscape. Catch Mapache on Saturday, July 13, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington. Tim Hill adds support.
