Live at Lakeview: The Sextones, Chile Verde

The Sextones are a family of music renegades known for viciously executed soul compositions and white-knuckle driving funk. Fronted by the charismatic and soulful vocalist Mark Sexton, The Sextones’ sound is a tip of the hat to the days of Tower of Power and Stevie Wonder while actively forging the path for a new generation of soul and funk. Based in the wild desert of Reno, The Sextones continue to diligently craft their distinctive brand of soul with face-melting guitar parts, intricate bass-work, commanding drum rhythms, sticky Hammond B3 comping, brutally honest and heartfelt vocal acrobatics and a fearless and exciting stage performance. Bassist Alexander Korostinsky, drummer Daniel Weiss and keyboard player Ryan Taylor round out the group, which recently returned from a second European tour. A North Lake Tahoe band, Chile Verde serves up a “funky stew sure to light your pants on fire.” So be careful.
