Set List: Madison Instrumental Rock Trio El Valiente Find Order In Chaos

Eric Caldera grew up in San Antonio, Texas before calling Madison, Wisconsin home. He moved to Madison to attend the UW and pursue a doctorate; studying the genetic disposition of Central American ants — and along the way he formed the instrumental rock trio, El Valiente.

Often combining elements of chaos with meticulously ordered guitar and glockenspiel interplay, they create melodically-rich instrumental soundscapes that are difficult to categorize.
