For Los Lonely Boys—brothers Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza—family has always been at the core of their music and lives. After years of constant touring, the trio took a much-needed break in 2019 to focus on their growing families. But in Summer 2022, they returned to the road reinvigorated, even opening for The Who, and reigniting the passion that’s kept them together for over 17 years.
Hailing from San Angelo, Texas, the Garza brothers coined their own sound—bluesy “Texican rock & roll”—and turned it into a global sensation. Their breakout came when Willie Nelson’s nephew discovered their demo. Willie soon championed the group, booking them for Farm Aid and recording with them at his studio. Their debut album, Los Lonely Boys, released in 2003 and re-released by Epic, was a smash success, thanks to the No. 1 hit “Heaven.” The song earned them a Grammy and helped the album spend over 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, selling over 2 million copies.
They’ve collaborated with legends like Carlos Santana and Willie Nelson, performed at iconic venues, and appeared on campaigns for global causes. Their story was also captured in the documentary Cottonfields and Crossroads, chronicling their rise from a musical family in Texas to Grammy-winning artists.
But their journey hasn’t been without hardship. In 2013, a serious stage accident left Henry injured, forcing the band to cancel dozens of shows and re-evaluate their priorities. That scare became a turning point, reinforcing their devotion to one another and to what truly matters—family and music.
Now firmly back in stride, Los Lonely Boys continue to write, record, and perform with renewed passion. Their time away deepened their creativity and strengthened their bond as both musicians and brothers. In 2024, they released Resurrection through BMG—a powerful return that captures their signature “Texican rock & roll” sound while uniquely blending elements of soul, roots, and rock & roll. With Resurrection earning critical praise and their live shows drawing enthusiastic crowds, Los Lonely Boys are not just back—they’re thriving. More than two decades after their debut, they remain a vital force in music, proving that their story is still unfolding.

Magic City Hippies have carved out a distinct place in the indie landscape, blending  Miami’s sun-soaked swagger with infectious funk, psych-pop, and danceable grooves.  What began as the Robby Hunter Band evolved in 2015 with the release of Magic City  Hippies, the album that gave the trio its name and solidified a sound both laid-back  and relentlessly kinetic.  

Since then, the band has built a reputation for genre-fluid songwriting and high-energy  performances, earning spots at major festivals including Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits,  and Lollapalooza.

Modern Animal (2019) expanded that  palette with a deeper, beachside sensibility, while Water Your Garden (2022) served as  a psychedelic post-pandemic celebration of connection and self-expression.  

In 2024, the band returned with a run of stylistically diverse singles, from the disco-funk  of “Givin’ Up On Lovin’” (featuring NoMBe) to the acid-house-tinged psych-pop of “I  Can’t Let You Go”, culminating in Enemies (2025), a groove-centered breakup album  full of emotionally charged, rhythm-driven tracks. Marrying an indie-rock punch with  nostalgic, synth-forward textures, Enemies reflects a group willing to evolve without  losing the essence of their sound.  

Though their recordings have drawn both critical and fan acclaim, Magic City Hippies  are best known for their live shows: sweaty, exuberant, and effortlessly engaging. Their  ability to convert casual listeners into loyal fans is no accident, it’s the result of years of  relentless touring, musical chemistry, and an unapologetic commitment to making
