LOS LONELY BOYS at DES PLAINES THEATRE

Los Lonely Boys • with special guest Jaik Willis
For Los Lonely Boys—brothers Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza—family has always been at the heart of their music. After years of touring, the trio took a break in 2019 to focus on their families, returning to the road in 2022 reinvigorated and even opening for The Who. Hailing from San Angelo, Texas, the Garzas created their own bluesy “Texican rock & roll” sound and turned it into a global sensation. Their breakthrough came when Willie Nelson’s nephew discovered their demo; Willie soon booked them for Farm Aid and recorded with them at his studio. Their 2003 debut album, Los Lonely Boys, re-released by Epic, featured the No. 1 hit “Heaven,” which earned them a Grammy and spent 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, selling over two million copies. They’ve collaborated with legends like Carlos Santana and Willie Nelson, played iconic venues, and supported global causes. Their journey, chronicled in the documentary Cottonfields and Crossroads, has seen both triumph and hardship—most notably Henry’s serious stage accident in 2013, which led the band to refocus on what matters most: family and music.
Now back in stride, Los Lonely Boys continue to write, record, and tour with renewed passion. Their 2024 release, Resurrection (BMG), blends their signature Texican rock & roll with elements of soul and roots music, earning critical acclaim and energizing live audiences. More than two decades after their debut, they remain a vital force in music, proving their story is still unfolding.
