Los Lonely Boys artist page: interviews, features and/or performances archived at NPR Music
With their passionate and eclectic mix of rock, country and Tex-Mex music, Los Lonely Boys' members seem equally influenced by the classic pop of The Beatles and the Latin guitar-rock of Santana. Hear Los Lonely Boys perform live in concert from WXPN in Philadelphia, along with a performance by Gordon Gano of Violent Femmes.
()Los Lonely Boys, the Grammy-winning Tex-Mex rockers, know how to unwind when they're off the road. They opened a chop-shop in their home town of San Angelo, to turn out a low-rider Chevy and other cars.
()Hear an interview with Ron Roeker from the Recording Academy on how the Grammy selection process works, plus music from the Best New Artist category.
()Take a dollop of Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pinch of Santana and a helping of Ritchie Valens and you might come up with a band that sounds a lot like Los Lonely Boys. The Austin-based group of Mexican-American brothers also has country music roots and considers Willie Nelson a patron of sorts. NPR's Felix Contreras reports. Hear band members discuss one of their recording sessions and listen to selections from their debut CD.
