Fernando Band - Portland
Share
After eight years, we finally got the full band back in a room together with drums. This is “Wise Men” from my 1998 album Pacoima, rehearsed at Blue Butler Studios in Portland with Luther Russell, Paul Brainard, Dan Eccles, and Freddie Trujillo.
We’re playing the Waterfront Blues Festival on July 3rd from 4:30 to 5:30 PM — if you’re in Portland, we’d love to see you there. Share this with anyone who might want to come out!

Hey everyone, a few years ago I had the pleasure of co-writing a couple of songs with my old friend and bandmate Freddy Trujillo for his amazing album Sketch of a Man.
One was called "Sins of the Father," and this one is called "A Film I’ve Never Seen." This song tells the story of a young love interrupted by an immigration raid—a theme that couldn't be more relevant to what is happening in our world today. Freddy sings this with such innocence and earnestness that it almost makes me cry every time I hear it.
Freddy handled the music and melody while I took on the lyrics. I am incredibly proud of this composition and the story we told together. Give it a listen. Freddy and i joined forces to co-write another song which will be appearing on his amazing Ave Trujillo album that will be out in the near future so go check out his music and his shows!!
