Ximena Sariñana

At the young age of 2 Ximena Sariana went to an Ella Fitzgerald concert that would end up determining her path in life. Active in the entertainment industry since 1994 when she began playing roles in movies produced by her father, Fernando Sarinana, and telenovelas, Ximena was destined for the spotlight. This 26-year old, Mexico-native started taking singing lessons at 7, and can take credit for writing most of the songs on her first album, Mediocre, which came out in 2008. It was a contemporary pop-rock/vocal jazz album, and critically acclaimed, nominated for an array of awards, including a couple in the 2008 Latin Grammy's. When developing the album, she had a desire to get more in touch with her native tongue and took the album as a challenge to connect with her roots. Her musical style is a blend of pop, jazz, rock, and alternative, graced by enticing lyrics and a rocker voice. Ximena's songs were made for dancing to, so you better come prepared to move, whether you're aware of it or not. She will be performing at Coachella 2012 on Friday, April 13th and 20th.

The Dear Hunter

The Dear Hunter- "What It Means To Be Alone"

The Dear Hunter is an Indie Rock band that hails from Providence, Rhode Island. They incorporate a solid amount of alternative and progressive rock sounds, but throw in a broad range of instruments that gives them a sound to really elevate the mentals! Originally The Dear Hunter was just a side project for Casey Crescenzo, formly of The Receiving End of Sirens, but Casey had written some songs that wouldn't work with TREOS' sound. So just like that *BAM!,* The Dear Hunter came to head! Their first three albums (Act I: The Lake South, The River North, Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading, and Act III: Life and Death) are part of a concept/story that Casey developed.He planned out the story so that each "Act" follows the birth, life, and sudden death of a boy in the early 20th century who is known only in the stories as "The Dear Hunter" (hence the band's name). The Dear Hunter is comprised of Casey and Nick Crescenzo, and Maxwell Tousseau who joined the Crescenzo brothers in 2010. When they go on tour, they are also joined by Robert Parr, Connor Doyle, and Nick Sollecito. Their music has that feel-good vibe to it that makes you want to wander around outside with the sun shining down on you, and the universe and the music guiding your way! They create upbeat, catchy, and emotional songs that can suit your every mood. Ever since February 2, 2006, when they played their first show, The Dear Hunter has been pumping out songs adored by music lovers everywhere.

The Dear Hunter will be playing on Friday, the 13th and 20th of Coachella, so get ready our festi friends, because we are in for a musical treat!
