Javier & The Way Back

Javier & The Way Back
Biography

Javier & The Way Back are a tree whose branches quiver with their roots. American Roots; Black-sooted
roots embedded in red clay wrought with iron, blood and optimism. Their music strikes to the marrow of the American experience and in a whisper screams – “there is no future without a past!” An evening with this band will take you on a musical journey across the American Landscape and will remind you that the imagery, music and diverse cultures this country and its music built, are thriving today.
