Calexico is an indie-rock band based in Tucson, Arizona, known for playing an eclectic variety of music. The two main members are Joey Burns and John Convertino, who first played together in Los Angeles as part of the group Giant Sand. They have recorded a number of albums on Quarterstick Records, while their 2005 album In the Reins, a collaboration with Iron & Wine, has reached the Billboard 200 album charts. Burns and Convertino have also collaborated with Lisa Germano and Howe Gelb as OP8, releasing the album Slush in 1997.

Their musical style is highly influenced by traditional sounds of the Southwestern United States and Mexico, and they have also been described as alt-country. Calexico is named after the border city in Southern California.

* Joey Burns (guitar and vocals);
* John Convertino (drums and percussion);
* Paul Niehaus (steel guitar);
* Jacob Valenzuela (keyboards, trumpet and vibes)
* Martin Wenk (accordion, guitar, synthesizers, trumpet, vibes); and
* Volker Zander (upright bass).
