About

Fernando Viciconte has had a diverse and dynamic career in music, constantly shifting his style and exploring new genres. He began his musical journey in L.A. with the hard rock band Monkey Paw before moving to Portland, OR, where he released his debut album Season in Hell in 1996. From there, he continued to experiment with different sounds, releasing the Spanish language album Pacoima in 1998 and the rock-focused Old Man Motel in 1999. In 2001, he founded his own label Domingo Records and released Dreams of the Sun and Sky, which was named a top ten release of the year by The Oregonian.

In 2006, Fernando returned from a hiatus with his critically acclaimed album Enter to Exit, which was praised by Magnet Magazine and other publications. He continued to evolve his sound with his 2010 release True Instigator, which drew on his Americana, Spanish, and classic country roots. His eighth album, Leave the Radio On, was released in 2015 and featured collaborations with Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, and other notable musicians.

Fernando’s most recent album, Traitors Table, was released in 2019 and is his most personal and provocative work yet. It explores themes of immigration, small-town life, and political correctness, and features powerful tracks like “I Don’t Know” and “The Company.” In 2020, Fernando released Justicia, a previously unreleased rock en Español album that was recorded in 2001.

Throughout his career, Fernando has toured extensively and collaborated with a wide range of musicians. He has earned critical acclaim for his dynamic and genre-defying music, and continues to push boundaries and explore new sounds.
