For over a century, the Hotel Congress has stood at the heart of Tucson, a living witness to the city’s history—and to those who refuse to leave it behind. Built in 1919, the hotel was designed for travelers stepping off the Southern Pacific line, with guest rooms, a café, a beauty shop, a barber, and the now-famous Tap Room bar. Yet beneath the grandeur of its architecture lies something far older: the land itself has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, making Tucson one of North America’s oldest, and most haunted, living communities.

On this 30-minute walking tour, you’ll be let in on the hotel’s best-kept secrets. Meet the lace-shrouded lady of the staircase, drifting through the lobby trailing the faint scent of roses; the Victorian Gentleman in Room 214, quietly surveying the plaza in seersucker and top hat; the Locksmith’s Apprentice, tinkering at unseen locks; Vince, the butter-knife handyman, still tending to his work decades after his passing; and the Lady in White, whose presence has startled more than a few male guests. You’ll even hear the story of infamous bank robber John Dillinger, who passed through Hotel Congress in 1934 before a fire exposed his gang’s presence and led to his capture—without a single shot fired.

The tour wraps up in the rarely seen séance room, a space of quiet reflection, lingering echoes, and centuries of footsteps—perfect for anyone curious enough to step just a little closer to the unexplained. It’s more than a ghost tour; it’s a backstage pass to a living portrait of Hotel Congress, where history, humanity, and spirits mingle in plain sight.

Please note: the elevator was destroyed in the famous 1934 fire—guests must climb one flight of stairs to reach the haunted rooms.

Ray and Paul are brothers from the San Francisco Bay Area who started their band when they were just 17 and 13.

They broke onto the scene in 2019 with their debut single “Mystery”, written by Ray at seventeen. The track made waves in the Bay Area and caught the attention of several Spotify Editorial Playlists. That early momentum led to their self-titled debut album and a sync placement for the song “Butterflies” in HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls.

When the brothers moved to Santa Barbara for college, their sound soaked up the raw, carefree energy of the Surf and Garage Rock scenes. Gigging around Isla Vista and connecting with the local DIY community helped them sharpen their live show. In October 2023, they released “Pelican”, which remains their top track on Spotify. Its follow-up, “Blue”, added heavier guitars and their trademark vocal melodies, becoming a staple of their electric live performances.

In 2025, they launched their own label, Desert Lady Records, with AWAL. That same year, they toured with bands like Sun Room and The Moss, and hit festivals including SXSW and Treefort. Their live lineup also features longtime collaborators Aidan Reese (guitar) and Mac Bihn (bass).

After dropping three singles in 2025 — “Tell Me,” “Scars,” and “Alright” — the band is gearing up to release their highly anticipated Fading EP on September 10, featuring six tracks. The release will be supported by The Fading Tour, with headlining dates across California, before joining Australian band Dice as support on their U.S. tour.

The easiest way to explain ELIJAH’s music is his Spotify bio: “art from the pain”. With each ear-worm hook, rage-inducing breakdown, and perfectly placed lyric, it’s understandable why so many fans have already claimed ELIJAH as their favorite artist. Whether it’s moshing to EASY TO DROWN, or reminiscing to GUILTY, his most recent single, there’s a song for every rock lover in the young artist’s set. And with the release of SKIN on March 7th, a new chapter of ELIJAH’s career begins. One that is louder, more sincere, more vulnerable, and with much more to prove.
