Artist:Beirut
Song:Santa Fe
Album:The Rip Tide
Zach Condon started Beirut as a solo recording project. But he turned it into a band and hires musicians for touring. He has had success in the Alternative Rock market. Condon was born Feb. 13, 1986 in Albuquerque, NM. He played trumpet in a jazz band as a teen. While attending the University of New Mexico, Condon recorded Beirut's 2006 debut album Gulag Orkestar in his bedroom. The name Beirut is because it's a city of conflict. Condon signed with Ba Da Bing! Records and hired musicians for live shows. Santa Fe is from Beirut's 2011 album The Rip Tide released on Condon's own label. It is his best selling album to date because it's straightforward pop music. Though Condon still plays most of the instruments, bassist Paul Collins and drummer Nick Petree now record in the studio with Condon. They started out as musicians for hire. The Rip Tide is available as a digital download. Since then Condon has released two Beirut albums on 4AD, most recently in 2019. Condon recently released an album of non album songs called Artifacts. Beirut is currently not on tour. Here's the video for Santa Fe by Beirut.
