Colorado Springs, CO – Cross Grain Records, LLC is pleased to announce that Colorado Springs-based band Mateo y Las Manos Pesadas will celebrate the release of their new album The Finer Light with a special performance at Lulu’s Downtown on October 17, 2025. The concert, marking the official release of the band’s second full- length album, will feature a 10-piece ensemble performing songs from the record as well as favorites from their repertoire.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Mateo, Mateo y Las Manos Pesadas are known for blending folk, rock, and Americana with a distinct Latin American influence.

“Our goal with The Finer Light was to create music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable,” says Mateo. “This album reflects not just my journey as a songwriter, but also the collective spirit of the band. We’re excited to share it with our community at Lulu’s Downtown, a place that has always welcomed artists and music lovers alike.”
The October 17th performance promises to showcase the ensemble’s dynamic arrangements, weaving together acoustic and electric textures with a rhythmic foundation rooted in Mateo’s signature storytelling.
