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.

Roscoe is a road dog. The 14-year-old Boston Terrier has been there for the whole ride of Mapache, Clay Finch and Sam Blasucci's band, which has grown from being the casual project of two longtime buds to one of the most formidable cosmic-folk acts around. "Roscoe's been through a lot of shit," says Blasucci, the dog's formal owner. "He's been all around the country, come on tour a little bit." With some bemused pride, Finch points out that, for a few years, he and Blasucci bunked together in a room in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles that was just big enough to fit two twin beds. "It was the two of us and the dog," he laughs. Naturally, Roscoe has found himself the subject of a good handful of Mapache songs in the past - and on Roscoe's Dream, the band's upcoming third LP of originals, he takes center stage.
