Hacienda

Hailing from San Antonio, Texas, Hacienda are a band with one foot in the past and the other in the present, playing music that harks back to pop, soul, and blues sounds of the 1960s and '70s while maintaining a contemporary focus and enthusiasm. Hacienda are also a family affair, featuring three brothers -- Abraham Villanueva on keyboards, Rene Villanueva on bass, and Jaime Villanueva on drums -- joined by their cousin Dante Schwebel on guitar. In 2012, Hacienda completed work on their third album, Shakedown, which was their first release for Collective Sounds, arriving in stores in June. ~ Mark Deming
