Quesada, 42, is not new to the Grammys, though. He previously played for Grupo Fantasma, which nabbed a trophy in 2011 for best Latin rock album. Quesada has also lent his talents to another Austin-based band, Brownout, as well as solo acts, from Prince to Daniel Johnston.

Fresher to the music scene is Burton, a 30-year-old who got his start in church and musical theater growing up in the San Fernando Valley.

Together, they're reinventing Southwestern soul with a blend that honors the region's funky historical fusions while incorporating a hip-hop vibe. The sum of their experience makes them a great live act, the key to success as a band in 2019.
