Desert Skies Band is the award winning Haroldson family of Aztec, New Mexico. The band enjoys playing music of many genres from Americana to Bluegrass, from Texas Style fiddle to cowboy, a little swing to a touch of jazz, from Gospel to Gypsy. They will entertain you with their energetic, foot tapping tunes from around the globe. The fiddle is the star instrument of the band but you will also be treated to sounds of the mandolin, guitar and assorted other traditional instruments, along with family harmonies. Brock's beautiful, original tunes written especially for the band, are pleasing to all audiences all over. And the girls fleet footed clogging is sure to capture the attention and admiration of all!.

Desert Skies has appeared on stage at festivals, conventions, churches, private parties and public events. They enjoy performing at many venues from local events to national festivals, from a small gathering at a tiny country church to conventions of 3,000. Along with the band's accomplishments, the members have many individual awards including state and regional fiddle championship titles.

The 4 oldest children will entertain music lovers with their skill on the fiddle and mandolin and their ability to swap instruments with each other and their folks. But no performance is complete without bringing out the younger girls for a few tunes. Audiences especially delight in seeing Nationally certified fiddler, 6 year old Jocelyn and 11 year old Nicole, as they take a turn singing and fiddling with the family. A Desert Skies performance will definitely include a lot of fiddling, expert picking and singing and some fast paced black shoe clogging!
