forWARD: Los Rebeldes w/ Root River Jam



Sponsored by Mayo Clinic 


Los Rebeldes - Los Rebeldes is a Minnesota based Tex-Mex band that formed in 1984. Their style from the north blends with traditions of the south to bring Tex-Mex, Conjunto, Cumbia, Country, Rock, and Folk genres alive on stage. Classic songs from artists like Vicente Fernandez, Texas Tornados, Little Joe, Johnny Cash, and more are led by accordion, trumpet, and guitar melodies. Los Rebeldes brings traditional Tex-Mex and Conjunto music into the modern era while still preserving the essence and history of each tune. The Cardona family band, known as Los Rebeldes (of Minnesota), has been playing music together for over four decades.


Root River Jam- Root River Jam is an Americana Roots band based in SE MN. Their original music includes styles from folk, country, rock, blues, Celtic, and jazz. Audiences are drawn to our sound and instantly connect with expressive melodies, improvisation, and interaction. Recalling the "jams" of the past and renewing the dreams of the future!
