On the Road With Western Colorado’s Javier De Los Santos’ ‘Mariachi San Jose’ [PHOTOS]

Grand Junction based Mariachi group "Javier De Los Santos' Mariachi San Jose' played a double header this weekend at two Western Colorado locations. Have you ever gone on tour with a Mariachi band? Take a look at what it's like.

Mariachi San Jose played the first of two gigs on Saturday at the Dallas Divide Ranch about 12 miles outside of Ridgway, Colorado. The band performed a one hour gig for a couples' 50th wedding anniversary.

Following the mariachi band's performance, Javier De Los Santos entertained the guests for another hour with a solo Classical guitar performance.

While Javier performed, the rest of Mariachi San Jose enjoyed an hour of downtime on the beautiful Dallas Divide.

From the Dallas Divide Ranch, the band then set course for Cedaredge for another anniversary party. The band cut it close, arriving in Cedaredge close to 9:30 pm.

Mariachi San Jose played a two-hour set for a couple celebrating their anniversary. In the audience were another couple who had just gotten engaged that day, and a birthday.
