meet tHE BAND
El Wencho has a big sound that relates the Montana lifestyle through immersive lyrics, catchy melodies and driving rhythms. Their authentic music is an eclectic fusion of genres that draws on sonic elements from red dirt rock, blues, country, Americana and polyrhythmic Latin percussion. Together, Josh and John form an authentic and charismatic duo that expertly connects with the audience and delivers an engaging and highly addictive musical experience. We can’t forget to mention that John and Josh are also just the nicest guys and always super gracious to be included in our series’ lineup. Their shows are fun and energetic and get the crowed dancing.
