Mexican-American trio, Los Lonely Boys, blend Texan rock, blues and country with conjunto and tejano folk, finding chart success and Grammy Awards since their 2003 debut.
Formed of three brothers, Henry (guitars), JoJo (bass) and Ringo Garza (drums), the Los Lonely Boys were surrounded by music from an early age, becoming their father's backing band before they had reached their teens. Having relocated back to Texas, US from Nashville, US, the brothers set out on their own, developing their unique style.
In 2003, they recorded their self-titled debut record, which they recorded at Willie Nelson's Austin, Texas, US, studio. Epic Records were impressed by the album, re-releasing it for their major label debut in 2004, finding chart success. Rounding out a successful year, they received a Grammy Award for 'Best Pop Performance' in 2004.
After this breakout success, Los Lonely Boys continued to record strong albums, with 2006's "Sacred," 2008's "Forgiven" and the christmas-themed album, "Christmas Spirit," also in 2008. After releasing an EP of covers, "1969," they recorded the powerful "Solid Ground," a song written to raise money and attention of the Family Justice Center of Erie County, an Austin-based charity that supported victims of domestic violence.
Years of constant touring took its toll, and JoJo Garza had developed lesions on his vocal chords in 2010, prompting a break from live performances. It was another year before a new album of original material, 2011's "Rockpango," saw release. More health problems plagued the sibling-trio, after Henry Garza fell from the stage and suffered a serious spinal injury. After recovery, the band returned to strength in 2014, releasing their new album, "Revelation." The album was a moderate success, peaking at number 128 on the Billboard 200.
