Los Lobos & Los Lonely Boys

Los Lobos & Los Lonely Boys at Vina Robles

ABOUT LOS LOBOS It’s a matter of time. 50 years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. In between they’ve recorded 17 studio albums, 7 live LPs, 3 compilations, 2 EPs, 2 DVDs, and contributed 40+ guest appearances on their friends’ recordings—all garnering 4 Grammys, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction, the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award, NEA and Hispanic Heritage Foundation Honors, Congressional recognitions, plus countless “Keys to the City” and “Los Lobos Day” celebrations. And those are just a few of the highlights. But beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others, working for peace and justice, penning some of the most literate and important music of their time, transforming the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. The young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul, R&B, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues, jazz, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots—nourished by Norteña and rancheras, buoyed by bolero and cumbias, soaring on the rhythms of son huasteco and son jarocho. Los Lobos have helped spread the rich diversity of cultures across every continent, throughout the global community. Kids in Antwerp now know about Aztlán. Residents of Luxor and Ghana are crooning Lalo Guerrero. People from Laos and Bulgaria are belting “La Bamba”—all thanks to The Wolves as cultural ambassadors. Talk about a living legacy. Talk about a productive half century. And in the true rebel spirit, they did it all on their own terms, against formula. For the ages. To our delight. Quite simply, they are one of the tightest, one of the best, one of the most prolific bands ever. And, amazingly, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Jr., Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, Steve Berlin.” ABOUT LOS LONELY BOYS 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.

Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som and Nation of Language have made some of our favorite albums in recent years and we’re stoked they’ll be joining us this summer,” shares Gibbard.

Ole 60

Ole 60 at Vina Robles

Kentucky road dogs Ole 60 announce their headlining Off The Grid Tour, kicking off July 7 and tearing across 38 dates internationally, stopping at Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Saturday, August 8. “The reigning champs of tear-stained singles” (Country Central) bring along a buzzy set of openers for the trek, including The Stews, Kolton Moore & The Clever Few, The Jack Wharff Band, 80 Acres, Arcy Drive, Phil Kane, Rob Langdon, Cigarettes @ Sunset, and Garret Elias. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, May 21 Fresh off an extensive six-month run supporting the band’s critically acclaimed debut album, Smokestack Town, Ole 60 will once again burn rubber across the globe, “pairing the slouchy charm of indie grunge with roots-rocking, small-town punk energy” (The Bluegrass Situation). Hailed by GRAMMY.com as “11 tracks full of interconnecting stories and vivid characters, plus the confessions of a small-town band on the road,” Smokestack Town “proved to be one of the most stellar releases of the year” (Whiskey Riff) and cemented the Kentucky outfit as one of country music’s most riveting new acts. About Ole 60 Made in Hancock County, Kentucky, Ole 60 is not your father’s country band. Caught in the crosshairs of indie rock sonics, folk songwriting, and country sensibilities, the six-piece from Hawesville shot to notoriety in 2024 with “smoke & a light,” topping Spotify’s U.S. Viral Top 50 chart with the on-fire single and the Apple Music Country Albums chart with their debut EP, three twenty four, surpassing genre titans Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen in the process. They did it again with sophomore EP Songs About You and breakout hit, “Thoughts of You,” topping TikTok’s all-genre Viral 50 Music chart. Heavily influenced by Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, Radiohead, John Prine, and Nicholas Jamerson, with over 700 million global career streams, the band delivers with “solid musicianship, a willingness to experiment with sounds from psychedelic-tinged rock to more stripped-down fare, and a penchant for detailed storytelling” (Billboard). Headlining nationwide now, the boys from Kentucky just released their debut album, Smokestack Town, and surprise follow-up single, “Can’t Take It With You.”
