The first single from my upcoming album The Lucky House will be available digitally right here on Bandcamp on September 25th.
Before that hits, The Time Travelin’ Band and I are taking the stage at The Showdown Saloon on August 15th. The lineup features Paul Brainard, Freddy Trujillo, Luther Russell, and Dan Eccles. We’re also thrilled to have the acclaimed songwriter Adam Faucett joining us as our special guest.
We’ll be playing songs from The Lucky House (which drops in full come January 2027), along with a few brand new tunes that haven’t even been recorded yet, plus a couple of other surprises.
Capacity at The Showdown Saloon is pretty tight, but there are still some tickets left. Grab them while you can, and we hope to see you there.

Announcement
Headline: Huge Summer Shows, Vinyl Reissue Drops & Funding the Next Record!
Hey everyone,
I’ve got some massive updates to share with you all as we head into an incredibly busy summer and fall.
First up, the live music calendar is heating up and I can’t wait to see your faces out there. Mark your calendars for these upcoming Portland shows:
July 3rd: We are bringing the full band to the Waterfront Blues Festival on the riverfront.
August 15th: I’m headlining The Showdown with the incredible Adam Faucett joining the bill. It’s going to be a truly special night.
Behind the scenes, some major independent shifts have happened. I now officially own the rights to my albums Leave The Radio On and Traitors Table. These records and CDs were previously licensed to Fluff & Gravy, but they have officially come home to my own label, Domingo Records.
What does that mean for you? In the next week or two, I am going to be putting the remaining vinyl and CDs for both of these albums up for sale right on my webstore/Bandcamp.
Every single cent from these sales is going directly into funding the manufacturing, promotion, and release of my brand-new album, The Lucky House, which will also be dropping on Domingo Records at the end of this year. By grabbing a copy of these reissues, you are directly financing the new music and helping us cross the finish line.
I’ll be revealing the official cover art for The Lucky House very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that and for the merch drop in the coming days.
Thank you all for the incredible, ongoing support—I couldn’t do this without you. See you at the waterfront and at the clubs soon!
— Fernando

Big thank you to our friends from the Netherlands at AltCountry NL for the 4/5 star review of Traitors Table! Read review here…http://www.altcountry.nl/blog/2019/08/fernando-viciconte/#more-24971

“Recorded by Viciconte and his long time buddy, Luther Russell in a shack on a four-track recorder in a week long burst of activity, Traitors Table is an audacious album. An iron glove in a velvet fist, it draws you in as it daintily displays its melodies and then hits you with some fearsome realities. Definitely an album to have.”
