Eileen
Eileen Sanchez has been performing locally since the late 1980s and has enjoyed sharing the stage with the Cross Country band. After trying out the Nashville scene, she returned to her roots in Albuquerque and has been loving it ever since! Vocally trained at a young age, she has learned and loved to perform all types of music, but her first love is country music.
Nora
Nora Utrup has been part of multiple acts in NM and California, and rocks the bass guitar, keyboards, acoustic guitar. She adds flair to the group's variety of music with her one-of-a-kind, amazing voice.
Patrick
Patrick Hickey has been one of Albuquerque's go-to musicians for many bands and venues. Patrick's ability to go from lead guitar, to steel guitar, all while singing harmonies AND lead vocals, has made him an asset to the band.
Frank
Frank Pacheco is a master at drums, and has been integral in helping the band achieve a true country sound. His vocals and ability to fill in on bass guitar have made him the band's missing piece.
