About this Event


KXCI Community Radio welcomes The Paladins to Tucson to headline their 13th Annual House Rockin’ Blues Review at historic El Casino Ballroom. This preeminent rockabilly blues band helped kick off the station’s legendary House Rockin' Series at El Casino Ballroom back in the 80s.

Founded by guitarist Dave Gonzalez and bass player Thomas Yearsley, they’ve recorded nine full-length studio records and three live albums. Along the way, they built a solid reputation as one of America's hardest-working and best live bands. The Paladins last performed in Tucson at El Casino Ballroom in 2018. For this special return show, they will feature Arizona Blues Hall of Fame saxophonist Alex Flores.

Opening the show will be one of Tucson’s fastest rising blues bands, The Xcelerators. This ensemble brings over 250 years of experience from many genres to create what they like to call "Gritty, Sophisticated, Blues."

Doors are at 6:30, show at 7:30. Advance tickets start at $25 for KXCI Members and $30 for the general public at kxci.org and all Bookmans locations, or $35 at the door.

A limited number of reserved seats and 4-seat high-tops are also available through KXCI. As always, the show will be hosted by KXCI's own master of the blues, Marty Kool. Food will be available for purchase from The Parish.

KXCI Executive Director Elva De La Torre welcomes all to attend, “We’re thrilled to have folks back at El Casino for another great KXCI show featuring The Paladins and The Xcelerators. Grab your friends and join us for a special night of incredible music, food, and community. See you there!”
