Landon & Charlotte

Landon Cavalier

Landon has been playing the guitar since age 9, and performing live since age 6. Growing up surrounded by talented musicians, the art of making music has become second nature for Landon. Because of his experience with performing himself (and facilitating/playing with other musicians), Landon's ability to get on stage and perform with ease is nearly beyond compare. Though Landon's playing style revolves around an interesting mix of pop, hip-hop, blues, and folk, he is able to take almost any song and make it work on an acoustic giutar. Landon aslo plays the bass, melodica, and ukulele, and has dabbled in playing the drums, piano, harmonica, and mandolin.

Charlotte Cavalier

Charlotte has been singing for well over a decade, doing so live with The Coxmen since the age of 4. Like Landon, Charlotte grew up surrounded by great music and greater musicians. Charlotte has put hundreds of hours into fine-tuning her vocal cords, and is regarded as one of the great singers to come out of Hastings, MN. Charlotte also plays the ukulele and piano, and has dabbled in playing the guitar and bass.

Los Rebeldes

The Cardona family band, known as Los Rebeldes (of Minnesota), has been playing music together for over four decades. The Cardonas all sparked an interest in music at a very young age, and throughout the 70s, Raul Sr. and three of his sons, Raul Jr., Rene, and Luis, all began making music together. The Cardona's joined with Raul Sr.'s brother-in-law Jesús (Chuy) Velez around 1983 and officially formed the group Los Rebeldes. Jesús was a lead member of Los Rebeldes until his retirement in 1990. Raul Sr. continued to play the accordion in the band well into his 70s. Their close friend José Madrigal was also an original member and played guitar for many years.

As the decades have passed, the band still hasn't quit. While still playing the classic Mexican folk style music they were initially known for nearly 40 years ago, they have adopted a new, contemporary "Tex-Mex" style of music. The mix of rock, country, folk, and blues ties together a unique sound led by the accordion, trumpet, and guitar.

Throughout the years, there have been different family members in Los Rebeldes. Some played the trumpet, accordion, guitars, and more. At its core, Los Rebeldes is a family band that has found success bringing south-of-the-border music to the upper Midwest. Tex-Mex and Conjunto music traditions are important to many people, and Los Rebeldes is doing its part to keep the music alive.

Chris Herriges

Critically regarded singer, guitarist and songwriter based in the Twin Cities. Among accomplishments, most noteworthy is probably the large amount of airplay garnered via independent promotion, for a number of original recordings on commercial radio (Rock, Top-40) throughout the U.S., primarily in the 1990's. Also, glowing reviews in many national as well as local publications, also primarily in the early to mid '90's. Can currently be seen regularly in solo-acoustic and duo performances throughout the Twin Cities area and greater Minnesota and Wisconsin.
