It has been brought to our attention that one of the food servers at the Cow Pie event has tested positive for COVID. Being that the event was outdoors and food serving regulations were being followed, the chances of exposure are very low. That said, if you find yourself not feeling well, please test for Covid and take precautions to prevent possibly exposing others.

Greg Molina later became the drummer for their father’s band and remained a drummer. They both played the greater southwest region with a Native American Music era that incorporated the sounds of bordering styles from Texas, Arizona and Mexico borders. This style of music is still very much a staple on the Tohono O’odham Nation. Erickson and Greg branched out to form the Priminition Band, and continue to perform together.
