LOS CHANGUITOS FEOS
JANUARY 17, 2026 * CONCERT 7 PM * FILM SCREENING 8 PM
Tucson-based Los Changuitos Feos is the seed to the whole youth mariachi movement in the United States. In 1964 Father Charles Rourke originated the idea of youth mariachi. Inheritors of a six decade legacy of musicianship and dedication, today’s Changuitos play for college scholarship money. Over $480,000 in scholarships have transformed former Changuitos into college graduates in law, medicine, science, education and technology. As a featured group at Common Ground on the Border, a concert and their story will be presented.
TIM O'BRIEN AND JAN FABRICIUS
FEBRUARY 24, 2026 * 6:00 PM
American country and bluegrass legend, Tim O'Brien has released more than ten studio albums, in addition to charting a duet with Kathy Mattea entitled "The Battle Hymn of Love", a No. 9 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts in 1990. In November 2013 he was inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame. Recipient of three International Bluegrass Music Awards and two Grammys, Tim continues to write and perform. Tim and his wife Jan Fabricius have performed together nationally and internationally since 2015. The original songs on their new release Paper Flowers offer tangible proof of a deep
collaboration, and serve as a narrative of the couple’s life together.
When Cathy Fink and Jon Weisberger approached O’Brien in 2023 to contribute to what became 2024’s Bluegrass Sings Paxton, Tim and Jan wrote the song You Took Me In with the man himself. Encouraged by the results, the three scheduled weekly Zoom co-writing sessions and the songs kept coming. Paper Flowers includes twelve of those songs as well as three more originals.
