Joe City Garcia’s music (performed as Urban Desert Cabaret) is a trail of artifacts across a southwestern dream, spanning decades, witnessing tragedy, loss and grief with a yearning for redemption quenched by a desert-dry sense of humor. UDC is the tent show revival of those visions shared along the way…

“Joe City Garcia sings from a body that has shot through both heaven and hell and some of the most heartbreakingly beautiful desert landscapes that lie in between.”

“Urban Desert Cabaret... so great... I love it... I imagined myself on an endless backroad in New Mexico, driving through ghost towns, desert... These songs takes your spirit... A fascinating travel through feelings and sounds... The vocals are exceptional...”
