Melodic folk-rock duo from La Cañada Flintridge, California and based in Los Angeles. The two members met while they were both attending La Cañada High School. Sharing a fondness for bluegrass, *Dick Stusso*, *Reverend Baron*, *Art Lown* and *Tim Hill* they formed a group, the Melvin Doo, that regularly played in local coffeehouses.
They broke up in 2011 when Finch went to college at Chico State, while Blasucci took part in a mission trip to Saltillo, Mexico. However, they stayed in touch and in 2016, after they relocated to Los Angeles, they began playing together as Mapache, which means raccoon in Spanish.
Mapache draws inspiration from artists such as *Twain*, *Drug Cabin*, *Kacy & Clayton* and many more. With their unique blend of melodic folk-rock music, Mapache has captivated audiences worldwide. Their soulful harmonies and heartfelt lyrics have garnered them a dedicated fanbase.

"This record is about as close to the sound of home as you can get" says Mapache's Sam Blasucci - "We recorded it with a bunch of our friends in the house where we were living in a neighbourhood that we loved - It's a family vibe through and through."It made perfect sense, then, for Mapache to name their new album in honour of the place at the heart of it all: Liberty Street. Produced by longtime collaborator Dan Horne (Cass McCombs, Allah-Lahs), From Liberty Street captures Mapache at their finest, blurring the lines between past and present, between retro and modern, between traditional folk and cosmic country.The songs here draw on everything from Mexican boleros and Hawaiian-steeped surf to Bakersfield twang and lonesome cowboy campfire tunes, and Blasucci and his musical partner, Clay Finch, deliver them with the kind of easygoing charm and natural intuition usually reserved for blood brothers or married couples. It's an instantly engaging chemistry they share, a captivating musical bond that mirrors the comfort, closeness, and camaraderie of the album's homespun roots.
