Próxima Parada
“If you are fortunate enough to experience a performance by Próxima Parada, you will surely be reminded of all that is good about live music.” - Atwood Magazine
about
Próxima Parada grooves while singing about personal growth. At their shows, people have a hell of a lot of fun letting loose, feeling whatever they gotta feel. Songs like Begin Again and It Don’t Feel the Same speak to the people they are working to be, and yet, these deeply personal stories become universal, as listeners connect them to their own lives. The result is bobbing heads and feeling uplifted.
In 2019, Próxima Parada released their song “Musta Been a Ghost.” Little did they know that the song would go viral three years later through a Tik Tok video. The video, released in December 2022, by the creator Matt Firestine (@fuegostein) now has over 19 million views and three million likes. He called the song a “hidden gem” and wanted to introduce his viewers to Próxima Parada’s music through a short clip of the song. We agree! Which is why BMF had to have them at this year's fest!
What began as a group of college friends wanting to spread joy to their community in San Luis Obispo, California has led to national tours and their songs reaching a global audience online. It’s already been an incredible journey, and Próxima Parada is just getting started.
