Los Desperados – “Eagles Tribute”
Biography
The brainchild of lead singer Cory Maxam, Los Desperados took shape in May of 2020 as the pandemic restrictions lifted. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, the Ottawa‑based band has taken the music world by storm.
With their authentic versions of all the Eagles classics—including "Hotel California," "Take It to the Limit," "New Kid in Town," "Wasted Time," and of course "Desperado" — Los Desperados’ musicality and ability to emulate the vocals and smooth harmonies will instantly hit concert‑goers with a sense of nostalgia unmatched by any other body of music.

Los Desperados’ vocal, guitar, and instrumental versatility — and their attention to detail — truly deliver an “Eagles Experience” that simply should not be missed.
