New Moon Playlist Featuring The Bones of J.R. Jones

As the days shorten and nights grow chillier, we’re entering the desert’s version of cozy season. This year we are embracing the familiarity of revisiting our old favorite trails and restaurants, but also seeing them in new ways since we now have our toddler daughter along with us. This sweet combination of the fresh and […]

New Moon Playlist Featuring Ocie Elliott

New Moon Playlist Featuring Ocie Elliott

The bone soaking heat of summer has arrived along with the ripening of cactus fruit and the most vibrant sunsets of the year. Summer days are a little slower (and a little sleepier). We’ve found the spaciousness of Ocie Elliott‘s music to be the perfect soundtrack these days. This season’s playlist is a particularly special […]

New Moon Playlist Featuring Valerie June

Heavy rains have been falling here in the desert since the beginning of the year, with the cold weather beginning to yield to the blooms of spring. We’re looking forward to the landscape waking back up and new life blanketing the valleys and hills around us. We’ve been listening to Valerie June a lot recently, […]

The duo of Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino have strong roots in the Arizona desert, near our Inn bordering Saguaro National Park. The band’s newest album El Mirador was recorded here in Tucson, and has […]

New Moon Playlist Featuring The Heavy Heavy

The warm summer rains and distant thunder storms have arrived in the high desert, lowering our thermometers ever so slightly. We’ve had an eclectic mix of music playing around the house, lead by a sun-soaked anthem by UK-based The Heavy Heavy. The duo blends blues, psychedelia and sunny pop to feel right at home amidst […]

New Moon Playlist Featuring Angel Olsen

As the cacti begin blooming and summer draws closer, we’re placing the spotlight on Angel Olsen. Her unforgettable vocal melodies and memory-conjuring arrangements are the right soundtrack for a time of year when the best of yesterday is laying the foundation for tomorrow’s laughter, heartache, and everything else worth singing about. Along the way, enjoy […]

New Moon Playlist with Riddy Arman

New Moon Playlist Featuring Riddy Arman

  The timeless and earnest voice of Riddy Arman has been on our minds as we make the shift into the cool winter here in the high desert. Her song “Half a Heart Keychain” kicks off our holiday playlist, but the entirety of her self-titled album is worth a long listen as you make the […]

New Moon Playlist with The Bones of JR Jones

New Moon Playlist Featuring The Bones of J.R. Jones

We met Jonathon Robert Linaberry, who goes by the moniker The Bones of J.R. Jones at our Posada in Tucson, Arizona. The New York singer/songwriter admittedly has a fascination with the southwestern desert, present in his music and the accompanying album artwork that Jonathon creates himself. His song “Howl” has been on constant rotation in […]

New Moon Playlist with Jack Symes

We’re thrilled to feature Jack Symes for our next rotation of the New Moon playlist. Jack is a mustachioed California native who has spent time living and writing in both NYC and LA. His songs catch you immediately with deep melodic textures and a plain-english lyrical style that feels familiar, yet profound. His songs seem […]

New Moon Playlist Featuring Sam Valdez

As we look forward to a post-pandemic world where we can gather freely again with our friends and larger groups, we’re left reflecting on the isolation of the past year. For us, the simple pleasures of a good book, a nostalgic recipe or a new song have all helped provide little moments of escape in […]
