Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys Joining Forces In Riverside County

INDIO, CA — Grammy Award-winning bands Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys will bring their distinctive Latin flavor to Riverside County this summer, officials announced Thursday.

The two bands will perform at 8 p.m. Aug. 3 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio. Tickets start at $49 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 9 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office (84-245 Indio Springs Parkway), via phone 800-827-2946 and online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com.

East L.A.'s Los Lobos has been together for 50 years, along the way recording 17 studio albums, seven live LPs, three compilations, two EPs, two DVDs, and contributed to 40+ guest appearances on their friends’ recordings. The band's body of work has garnered four 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.

Los Lobos band members David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, Louie Perez and Steve Berlin have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others, working for peace and justice, and penning important music born out of the East L.A. barrio.

Texas’ Los Lonely Boys have been at it a while, too. Brothers Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza have been playing and touring together since they were teenagers. Three years ago, they took a break to focus on their own growing families, but summer 2022 saw them back at it again, returning to life on the road alongside The Who.

Together for 17 years, the story of how the Garza brothers rode their bluesy "Texican rock & roll" sound from the Lone Star State to worldwide fame is one of music's great Cinderella tales: The Boys formed a band, got signed to a major label, and had a hit single that propelled them to stardom. They've sold 2.5 million records, won a Grammy and received five more Grammy nominations.
