Singin' in Socorro

Have you heard Huckaby Junction’s newest CD Through the Stage Door? The Socorro-based songwriting duo of Terry Kincaid and Mariam are catching folks’ ears in Hollywood. Several of their songs have been licensed for TV shows. They’ve also recently penned songs for an as-yet-untitled Dreamworks film.

You can catch Huckaby Junction on many weekends at either the Stage Door Bar & Grill in Socorro or the Golden Spur Saloon in Magdalena.

To sample one of their songs, click on the CD cover at www.nmmagazine.com.
