Twang Sunday at Thee Parkside w/Opossum Sun Trail (SF)

Andrés Miguel Cervantes is a Mexican-American singer songwriter based in San Francisco and San Diego, California. Influenced by songwriters Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Fred Neil, and Vicente Fernadez, Cervantes’s lyrics are distinctly his own, with beautiful, haunting images of landscapes both internal and external—stories of traveling, searching, rambling, and experiencing the impermanence of life and love. Suffused with a dreamlike, mysterious atmosphere, his complex songs are grounded in an honesty and simplicity that make them timeless and deeply relevant.

Originally out of Humboldt county California, and most recently the Mojave desert, comes trio of nomads Opossum Sun Trail. Equal parts western film soundtrack, Bakersfield twang and over the top psychedelia, these desert weirdos have run the gamut of gigs from big city psych festivals to backwoods dives.
Their unique live instrumentation includes Nola Pierce (Moon Pine) on Wurltizter piano, vocals and moog synth bass, Michael Dieter (White Manna, DDT) on guitar and vocals as well as John Daren Thomas (ex-Nik Turner’s Hawkwind, Albert Lee, Idaho).
Most recent works recorded with Tim Green have been bio-regional compositions that seek a connection to place. One half written and reflecting the great Mojave desert and the other the tangled forests of the Klamath mountains of northern California and southern Oregon. New album coming late summer 2022.
