He spent the next decade in New York City, where he performed at the Blue Note, the Knitting Factory, and on MTV2. He relocated to New Mexico with his family 16 years ago and he now performs and records with award-winning regional acts that include Ryan Montaño, Entourage Jazz, and Hillary Smith.

He is currently based out of the beautiful Albuquerque area and offers freelance musician services while also serving as music director and bassist for Chevel Shepherd (winner of 2018 NBC’s “The Voice”).
“Anderson’s music puts Navajo culture through melodies inspired by ancient songs of love and war while fusing them with modern jazz and funk.”
—NPR Earthsongs
“By mining traditional Navajo ‘spinning songs’ of love, healing and courtship, and marrying them to jazz and funk lines, Anderson and his trio have taken a place at the forefront of a vibrant Native American jazz scene.”
—New York Times

Los Poblanos Fields Open Space (partially managed by the Rio Grande Community Farm) holds a special place in the history of Albuquerque. It occupies the original site of Los Poblanos, one of the earliest Spanish Colonial settlements in the Rio Grande Valley. It is, in fact, a living link in an agricultural heritage that extends over 1700 years, making it among the oldest parcels of continually farmed land in the United States. Years of hard work have transformed the neglected land into community gardens, wildlife habitat, and certified organic croplands. These provide educational experiences, community service projects, recreation and entertainment to a broad segment of our population while honoring our history and protecting the environment. This farm offers excellent year-round bird watching opportunities. Kestrels, hawks and songbirds frequent the farm, and hundreds of Sandhill Cranes and Canada Geese visit in the fall and winter.

A native of Hobbs, New Mexico, Hill first made her mark in the 80s with gutsy performances of rockin’ blues and funk, and she’s fronted a number of popular bands in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area over the years. Chief among the early groups was the multi-award-winning Strictly Taboo, whose debut album, Playing with Fire, got heavy rotation on local and international radio.

The Gatos have been featured at the Telluride Blues Festival, Durango Blues Train, Zion Canyon Music Festival, and countless other large national festivals. Their undying passion to play music has allowed them the privilege of sharing the stage with acts such as Grammy award-winning Dwayne Dopsie & the Zydeco Hellraisers, Tab Benoit, BeauSoleil, Ozomatli, Wayne “The Train” Hancock, as well as featuring John Popper of Blues Traveler on the track “Hot Damn” from their album OCHO.
