born in Durango, Desiderata channels Southwest roots into tight, feel-good grooves that make it hard to stand still. Picture Fleetwood Mac’s timeless melodies colliding with Chromeo’s modern funk. Fronted by Autumn Ford’s silky pop vocals and backed by a locked-in five-piece, their sound captures desert sunsets, mountain air, close friendships, and neon-lit dance floors—blending Soul, Pop, Funk, Indie, Disco, and Rock into something effortlessly fun.
