From Fernando’s website (www.fernandoviciconte.com):

Fernando Viciconte combines incisively melodic songwriting, edgy, Crazy Horse-like rock and a passionate vocal twang that leaves no doubt he means every note that springs from his lips. Think of a south of the border-inflected Neil Young, or Tom Petty in his angst-ier days.

Fernando was another surprise for me personally. I was not familiar with his music at all and the loss was mine. Fernando hails from Argentina and is a rock-a-holic all the way. He currently resides in Portland and through his friendship with Peter Buck, has appeared on R.E.M. albums and other side projects with Peter.

This is the final photo from the music festival that I will be posting via blog entries. I will still be posting slideshows for each night when they are finally done.

Fernando Viciconte And The Minus 5 - Todos Santos Music Festival Finale

Dave Depper is an extremely versatile musician. He recreated Paul McCartney’s Ram album nearly solo, playing all instruments and singing all vocals except the female ones. Quite a feat! During the festival he mostly played keyboards but occasionally he picked up a guitar too.

Dave Depper And The Minus 5, Todos Santos Music Festival Finale

Just a quick black and white shot from the Minus 5 set – that’s Dave Depper sitting in on keyboards. I still plan to put slideshows online but wanted to get these last photos posted in a more timely manner.
