MAIN Art & ... Pop Culture Pop Music Los Lonely Boys

It was a National Public Radio audio report in late 2004 that perhaps best described the sound of Los Lonely Boys : "Take a dollop of Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pinch of Santana and a helping of Ritchie Valens and you might come up with a band that sounds a lot like Los Lonely Boys..."

Add to that the Beatles, Carlos Santana and Chuck Berry and you get the trio of Garza brothers that make up the original sound of Los Lonely Boys...Henry on guitar, JoJo on bass and Ringo on drums.

Before entering their teens, the brothers had already performed with their father as a backup band throughout south and west Texas when the elder Garza relocated the group to Nashville to help hone their natural talent.

Later developing as a separate band on their own, the young trio eventually returned to the Texas circuit, wowing audiences with a unique and exciting mix of classic rock and roll, Tex-Mex and country.

Country singer Willie Nelson eventually took notice, calling Los Lonely Boys his favorite band and arranged for them to perform at the annual Farm Aid concert and inviting them to record at his Pedernales studio.

After releasing their self-titled debut album in 2003 on Or Music, the Epic label album picked it up for national distribution in 2004. The same year the group was featured on VH1's lineup for the Top 40 of 2004. Most recently, Los Lonely Boys took home a 2005 Grammy Award for their hit remake, Heaven.
