CORDOVAS
\nCordovas are an Americana rock band out of Nashville whose sound, equal parts soulful harmony, poetic craft, and cosmic improvisation, has long earned comparisons to The Band, Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills & Nash. But with their fifth studio album, Back to Life (out January 30, 2026, on Yep Roc Records), the group sharpens the edges of its identity: road- tested, deeply traditional in the ways that matter, and determined to be respected on its own terms. The band\u2019s heartbeat lies between two places. In Todos Santos, Mexico, where Cordovas have lived, written, and built a small community of artists, the songs take shape in their most relaxed state, often amongst a circle of friends. Then it\u2019s back to Nashville, where rehearsal, touring, and recording hammer those ideas into their final form. This cycle has defined the last three years of work, producing songs that are both varied and cohesive, each one revealing another side of the band\u2019s range. At the center of Cordovas are songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Firstman and guitarist\/vocalist Lucca Soria, partners in what they call a \u201cmusical friendship.\u201d The new record is a testament to their growth not just as musicians but as people. \u201cI\u2019m extremely blessed,\u201d Firstman says. \u201cEverywhere I look is love, and I set it up that way. My whole life is designed around art, not around bills or phone calls. Everything is based on love and enthusiasm, and it radiates from there.\u201d Soria frames it differently but with the same spirit of devotion: \u201cPeople are at service to us, and we are at service to them. I am incentivized to do my best all of the time in the service of others. In Mexico, it\u2019s also a community. Everyone has a role, and I want to do the best I can for the community.\u201d That philosophy is embodied in the band\u2019s communal compound in Todos Santos. Over the years, Cordovas have acquired five houses there\u2014each designed by Firstman, each tailored to the people who live or pass through them. More than just residences, they function as creative havens: a space where friends, collaborators, and fellow travelers are invited in to write songs, make demos, stage impromptu shows, or simply live alongside the band in a shared rhythm of art and life. It\u2019s not a retreat from the world but a way of reshaping it\u2014an intentional community built around the belief that music thrives when it\u2019s lived in, day after day, with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
