Cisco and the Racecars specializes in bluegrass, folk, and old time Americana music. Their energetic style and diverse arrangements and instrumentation create a unique blend of old and new. Under the management and vision of Francisco Briseno, Cisco & The Racecars has taken its place as one of the premier bluegrass bands in the Southwest.

The band is composed of Francisco Briseno on banjo, Mark Hickler on guitar, Giselle Lee on fiddle, Chester Carmer on mandolin, Katie Carmer on cello, and Joelle Tambe-Ebot on bass. Francisco, an Arizona State Banjo Champion, has gathered his band members over many years and together they've formed a highly unique and authentic sound. Although their roots are bluegrass, and they remain true to that tradition, they also play popular, country, and old-time music. The band plays festivals, special events, parties, weddings, and members also arranged and played 35 performances for the world premier theater production of "Burning in the Night".

In addition to performing, Cisco & the Racecars mentors the young players of the Jam Pak Blues 'N' Grass Neighborhood Band, a local after school music program that gave several of the band's members their start.

In summer 2018, the band had the opportunity to tour Ukraine, playing concerts in villages and towns across the country. This musical diplomacy trip was arranged by the Peace Corps and generously funded by the Trust for Mutual Understanding and the American Embassy in Kiev.. Cisco & the Racecars returned to Ukraine in summer 2019 for a second tour. They look forward to future opportunities to travel the world, share their music, and promote international understanding.

Carolyn Camp is an Arizona based Appalachian style old- time fiddler. She played classical violin as a young girl, but gave it up by the age of eleven. Years later, music started calling her and she picked up her old violin and began a search for the sound that would resonate with her. She took some lessons on basic fiddling styles but nothing moved her until she found a video of an old man playing Appalachian style fiddling and that was it, she was hooked! The haunting sounds of an open tuned fiddle and the lively rhythmic bowing style seemed to already be within her, just waiting to be awakened. Then her mother told her that her great-granny was from Ronceverte, WV and had told her stories of an uncle who was a fiddler at the local square dances! She sought out a fiddle workshop in WV, and came home and started listening to old recordings and learning to play by ear. She plays in the Phoenix based old-time band, Pick & Holler and also in a duo Ronceverte, with Will Vincent.
