Last year on June 20th, DOWN planned a unique show at the Inn Of The Mountain Gods in Mescalero, New Mexico. Unfortunately, it was postponed due to threatening wildfires. Responding quickly, the band organized two impromptu performances in Louisiana, donating part of the proceeds to support the Mescalero Apache Nation – South Fork Fire relief fund.
The Mescalero concert was rescheduled for September 27th, where DOWN was honored in special gifting ceremonies by the local Apache Tribe for their generosity and aid. Anselmo recalls the experience as deeply moving: “To play a show for the music/metal fans from Mescalero was an absolute honor — the beautiful presentation from the local Apache Tribe was humbling, surreal, and strong. I’d play there again in a heartbeat.”
Jimmy Bower added, “When we were invited to play the Inn Of The Mountain Gods, we knew from the start it would be special. Almost canceled due to wildfires, we played two shows in Louisiana to help raise funds for the locals in Mescalero. The show was rescheduled and we flew out the next month. Before the show, we were presented with embroidered native wool blankets in appreciation for our donation which was an absolute honor. The show was amazing. It was truly a special weekend.”
