About

Our performances are very energetic and engaging. We blend our hilarious everyday couple dynamics and add some circus aspects that can be incorporated and shared with the audience like learning to spin plates and juggling scarfs.

Our gender bending music creates a danceable atmosphere and captivates most musical tastes for everyone to relate and have a good time. We sing about love, betrayal, forgiveness and healing. We have some eclectic covers on our catalog and will sure make your guests have a unique experience and feel like we are their best friends having a house concert in their living room.

Box Canyon Barbies is an alt indie/folk rock band with a unique story.

Formed by Michael Garcia, a retired coal train conductor, and Kayo Müller, a former circus artist originally from Brazil, our music brings together two worlds you wouldn’t expect to collide.

We create songs that blend raw emotion with clever humor, capturing life’s full spectrum from the gritty soul of railroad blues to the wide-open freedom of the high desert and performing arts. With genre bending sound, mixing instrumentals and harmonies with lyrics that fuse two languages and cultural influences, they strike a balance between playful sarcasm and genuine depth.

And it’s not just about the stories we tell, it’s about the rhythm that moves you. We like to say that our sound pulls you in, inviting you to rock out, lose yourself, and find something deeper along the way.

Our music becomes a celebration of life, healing, navigating new relationships, and the search for true love. Every song is a journey, with raw emotion and unexpected twists.

BCB has current contracts with a variety of respectful venues including The Mineshaft Tavern; Rolling Still Distillery & Lounge; Vivác Winery and others.

We are a versatile act, performing as a duo, trio, or full band, depending on the needs of the venue or event. We are passionate about delivering high-quality, engaging and dynamic performances with some humor and lots of energy, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism.

Wedding Reception

Zac was the perfect choice for our event. He played some songs from our play list and then others that he chose, and all were just right! He created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a great time.

Festival

Great, super easy, and the video/songs in artist’s log were super helpful!

Pub – Bar

We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.

Birthday Party

We booked Lee Alexander as an Elvis impersonator for our mum’s 60th, and he was fantastic! He totally looked and sounded the part, and everyone loved it. He really made the night fun, and he was such a nice man too. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate – thanks so much, Lee!
