Próxima Parada means 'next stop' in Spanish and Portuguese. As college students in San Luis Obispo, California taking the bus to school, at every stop they'd hear, "Now approaching, próxima parada..." 100 times a day. The name is an invitation to the present moment, a reminder to not be too focused on the destination and to appreciate every stop along the way.
After ten years of next stops, their songs have become more and more focused on personal growth and groove, where each player adds just what's needed and makes up a piece of a whole. Some songs are sunny and light-hearted indie soul, others have a late-Mac-Miller mellow vibe, all the while speaking to who they are working to be.
What began as a group of college friends wanting to spread joy to their local community has led to national tours where people let loose and feel whatever they need to feel. It's already been an incredible journey with their songs reaching a global audience online, and they're just getting started. 2023 brings Próxima Parada's strongest album to date and much touring.
