Cordovas are an Americana rock band out of Nashville whose sound, equal parts soulfulharmony, poetic craft, and cosmic improvisation, has long earned comparisons to The Band, Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills s heartbeat lies between two places. In Todos Santos, Mexico, where Cordovas have lived, written, and built a small community of artists, the songs take shape in their most relaxed state, often amongst a circle of friends. Then its back to Nashville, where rehearsal, touring, and recording hammer those ideas into their final form. This cycle has defined the last three years of work, producing songs that are both varied and cohesive, each one revealing another side of the bands range.At the center of Cordovas are songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Firstman andguitarist/vocalist Lucca Soria, partners in what they call a musical friendship. The new record is a testament to their growth not just as musicians but as people. Im extremely blessed, Firstman says. Everywhere I look is love, and I set it up that way. My whole life is designed around art, not around bills or phone calls. Everything is based on love and enthusiasm, and it radiates from there.Soria frames it differently but with the same spirit of devotion: People are at service to us, and we are at service to them. I am incentivized to do my best all of the time in the service of others.In Mexico, its also a community. Everyone has a role, and I want to do the best I can for the community. That philosophy is embodied in the bands communal compound in Todos Santos. Over the years, Cordovas have acquired five houses thereeach designed by Firstman, each tailored to the people who live or pass through them. More than just residences, they function as creative havens: a space where friends, collaborators, and fellow travelers are invited in to write songs, make demos, stage impromptu shows, or simply live alongside the band in a shared rhythm ofart and life. Its not a retreat from the world but a way of reshaping itan intentionalcommunity built around the belief that music thrives when its lived in, day after day, withothers.Through it all, Cordovas remain a band defined by integrity and a hunger for success. Theyre traditionalists in the sense that they care about songs, about craft, about doing the work. Theyve taken the long road, built their own world, and now, with Back to Life, theyre stepping forward with their most focused and fully realized music yet.
