Formed just two years ago by frontman Julian Navarro and guitarist Alex Creighton, Cherokee Social has quickly built a name for themselves with their electrifying live shows and genre-blending sound. Their music weaves blues guitar, infectious pop songwriting, and Indigenous-influenced percussion into a style that feels both deeply personal and sonically expansive.
“We live together, we write together, we tour together,” Creighton shares. “This project is our entire world, and we pour everything we have into it.”
That dedication has already led them to sell out headlining shows, perform at Indigenous festivals like Vibes with the Tribes and Merciless Savages, and share the stage with heavy-hitting artists including Snotty Nose Rez Kids and Macy Gray.
For Navarro and Creighton, a Cherokee Social show is more than just music; it’s about creating a space where differences dissolve. “We want to give our audience a place to let go,” Creighton explains. “Laugh, cry, dance, feel — whatever it is, we want to hold that space for them. Because this world is chaotic. And if we can give even a few minutes of peace, joy, or catharsis… we’ve done our job.”

While they’re gearing up for the road, Cherokee Social is also deep in the process of crafting their debut album, a record that promises to bring their unique indie-pop vision into full form. With the upcoming Casbah date, San Diego fans will get an early taste of the energy and connection that’s winning over new listeners in every city they visit.
Cherokee Social and Coyote Island play The Casbah on August 23. Doors at 7:30 PM.
