The Riverside Stage

Los Pacaminos

is a Tex-Mex band that was formed by pop star Paul Young in 1992 during a break in his music career. The band originally consisted of six members, including guitarist Jamie Moses, accordion/keyboard player Matt Irving, songwriter Drew Barfield, bassist Steve Greetham, and drummer Mark Pinder. They played their first gig at a local pub in Richmond in November of that year and continued to perform together, growing tighter as friends and musicians with each show.

Although the band was formed as a side project, they started writing their own songs and it became clear that this was not going to be a short-term venture. In 1997, pedal steel player Melvin Duffy was added to the lineup after a suggestion from Jamie, and he quickly became a permanent member of the band.
