Howe Gelb’s Giant Sand is the most resilient and consistently inventive American band of the last two decades--part of the well spring of the Tucson musical dynasty.

Most artists who have amassed a body of work as enormous and varied as Howe Gelb have made some impression in the collective consciousness, but he continues to reside in a dimly lit corner of the rock circus. Out in the Arizona desert, Gelb painstakingly cuts and pastes home recordings into heartrenderingly intimate solo albums and rushes into spare studios for hurried jam sessions with itinerant musicians of all generations.

The Giant Sand Ordeal
Howe Gelb-Membership since 1983. Born of Austrian, Welsh and Spanish decent. Plucked from Pennsylvania at the tender age of 15, from flooding hurricane Agness. Landed confused in Tucson, Arizon. Remained confused until death.

John Convertino-Valued member since 1987
Born on Long Island. Raised in Oklahoma. Clings to his Italian roots. Confused and happy he toured America a la Partridge Family style with his brothers and sisters, playing nothing but covers, 3 sets a night in his family band.Still reamins in a trippy state of momentum.

Joey Burns- A mmember in good standing since 1990.
Born in Canada. Raised on the California coast. Worked at SST Records as a young man. Joey has extensive training in both music theory and harmony. Remains in constant search of his Irish roots, while at the same time embracing his new found love: Fado Music of Portugal. His actual middle name is George and is related somewhat. He emits stance of a sold citizen, well confused and lean.
