Los Lonely Boys are American Grammy-winning musical group from San Angelo, Texas. They play a style of music which they dub as Texican Rock n' Roll, combining elements of rock and roll, blues, soul, country, and Tejano.
Their influences include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, and Ritchie Valens. The group frequently headlines tours, and has also performed with music legends such as Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, Tim McGraw, Ronnie Milsap and Carlos Santana.
The band consists of three brothers: Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza. They have followed the tradition of their father, Enrique Garza Sr., who also was in a band made up of his brothers called The Falcones, which played conjunto music in southern Texas during the 70s and 80s.
Henry, Jojo, and Ringo sang backup for their father during his solo career, even before they were teenagers.
Moving to Nashville in the 1990s, the three brothers emerged as a group and, after moving back to Texas, recorded their debut album in 2003 in Austin at Willie Nelson's Pedernales recording studio.
In 2005, the group recorded an earlier song of theirs, "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love," with Santana for his album All That I Am. More Than Love was nominated for a Grammy for 2006, as was Onda. |
