This project documents the progressions and formation of one of Isla Vista’s very own local jam bands, ”Bien Cañon”. Comprised of three friends originally hailing from different hometowns but united by UCSB and a mutual passion for music, “Bien Cañon” is a relatively young group, yet their sound is both refreshing and unique.
Fronted by lead singer and guitarist Andres David “Rufio” Gomez, rhythm guitarist Dave Rasicci, and accompanied by Marc Cilurzo on the electric violin, Bien Cañon draws its musical influences from artists such as the Doors, Sublime, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Jimi Hendrix, to name just a few. Playing at venues such as Open Mics, Bean Nights at the Rainbow House, and even the Hub at the University Center, they have established a loyal fanbase that is continually captivated and enthralled by their style of music.
Bien Cañon’s sound is incredibly diverse and their lyrics are easy to relate to and sing along with as well, making for more of an “experience” rather than just an act or performance. Throughout the course of several performances, it isn’t hard to see that audiences are left with a collective want for more - both their groupies and fans of their music.
