Americana musician and former local sailor is bringing his folk-rock band to San Pedro ...Middle East

With a sound rooted in Americana music, Wyoming-based band The Two Tracks is coming to The Grand Annex for a one-night show on June 14.

And while they’re traveling a long way from their home on the east side of the Bighorn Mountains to San Pedro, one of the band’s leaders has some surprising roots, sailing in local waters here before he took his cello to Wyoming.

“People are in for a night of fun and introspective songs that will take them all over the West and even down the coast,” said the band’s cellist, electric guitarist and vocalist Dave Huebner, who grew up in Hacienda Heights and Whittier Hills before heading for the mountains.

Also in the four-piece group is his wife, Julie Huebner, who co-leads the band on guitar and vocals, Taylor Phillips on bass, and Fernando Serna on drums.

The band isn’t your typical Americana all-string outfit, since they forgo the fiddle and replace it with Huebner’s driving cello and electric guitar while adding drums for a more country-rock edge.

“We have rock songs, we have folk songs, we have bluegrass songs and part of it is that we just wanted to be able to create an environment where we can express ourselves in all different types of music that we’ve grown up with and love,” Julia Huebner said.

The Two Tracks are on a national tour in support of the band’s latest album, “It’s a Complicated Life.” The album includes songs that tell deeply personal stories such as “The Push and The Pull,” which recounts a divorce and “Momma’s Gone,” a tale about lamenting the difficult passing of a parent, to political angst-filled tunes such as “Workingman’s Blues,” and “In the Morning.”

“One thing that’s unique about this band is that we have Dave on cello, and the cello will often take the fiddle parts on songs. So we write pretty eclectic,” she said.

To the mountains

Before he met his wife, Julie, in Wyoming, Huebner was a local kid living the Southern California lifestyle, frequently sailing the ocean with his dad.

“We started doing trips to Catalina Island on the weekends, and we would sail around the island,” he said. “We did it for quite a while, and it was just a lot of fun.”

Always a fan of Americana, bluegrass and folk music, and possessed by a wandering spirit, Huebner headed for the mountains right after graduating from Los Altos High School and settled for a while in the Mammoth area before landing in Wyoming, where he met his future wife and joined the band for their first album in 2016.

“The love of the mountains and that landscape translates well to now living in Wyoming,” he said.

While he has no plans to hop on a sailboat while they’re in town again—the band is on a busy road tour—Huebner is happy to be back in his old stomping grounds.

“It is really fun for me, especially getting to come back to the old homeplace decades after I left and to play music in a beautiful room. And there will be California-inspired music for sure,” he said.
