That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise.  That’s just how they are built.  TESLA may have been born in the mid 80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll.  The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.

The ground started shaking in Sacramento, Calif., in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum.  They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical.  Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.”  1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song.”  Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status.  In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others.  This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.”  Other 90s albums from Tesla include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut.  The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000 and recently debuted their new single, “Time To Rock!”

TESLA has endured many of the same taste-changing challenges that affected many in the post-grunge world, but through it all, their blue-collar work ethic and dedication to the faithful fan base has helped them not just survive, but thrive.  TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world.  As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure.  TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

“Americana rock and roots” is the way Jimmy describes the music that he plays.
He started playing guitar at age 19 and immediately fell in love with the instrument. He began by teaching himself songs by the Beatles, Bob Dylan and acoustic music of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Over the next several years, he played in various types of bands including folk, bluegrass, country and rock and roll. As he began to listen to swing and jazz, he developed more interest in songwriting, especially the music from the American Songbook by Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and the Gershwins.

In recent years, Jimmy has fallen back in love with the blues and plays songs by many of the great blues legends such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton. From simple folk, to Beatles-influenced rock, delta blues, Motown-flavored R&B, country or Swing Jazz, his music reflects elements from all these styles of music. Jimmy now lives in St. Joseph Michigan where he performs at various venues throughout Southwest Michigan and the Michiana area.

The only thing more recognizable than Ace Frehley’s signature “Spaceman” makeup is his guitar playing.

Those thundering riffs and singable solos have enshrined him as one of the most influential, inspiring, and impactful musicians of all-time.  Simply put, rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal wouldn’t sound, look, or feel the same without him.  Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss.  Guitar World named him in the Top 15 of its “100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time” and plugged the lead from “Shock Me” on the “50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.”  Magnifying the imprint of his catalog as a solo artist, Foo Fighters cut a fan favorite cover of “Ozone,” and he even jammed out “New York Groove” alongside The Roots on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.  The late Dimebag Darrell of Pantera proudly sported a tattoo of Frehley on his chest, while Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine celebrated him on X/Twitter as “My first guitar hero.”  Embedded in popular culture, he also, penned the New York Times bestselling memoir “No Regrets,” and packed venues everywhere on tour for decades.

However, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated Bronx-born legend continues to elevate and electrify rock ‘n’ roll with his tenth full-length solo offering, 10,000 Volts [MNRK Heavy].

The record upholds an incredible legacy for Frehley, spanning 50-plus years in the limelight.  Back in 1978, he delivered his solo debut, Ace Frehley.  It reached platinum status and exploded as “the highest-selling of the four Kiss solo albums in the Soundscan era.”  Pitchfork even retrospectively rated it a rare “8.5” score.  During 1987, he dropped Frehley’s Comet, followed by 2009’s Anomaly.  In 2014, he made history once again.  His Space Invader LP captured #9 on the Billboard 200 and emerged as “The only solo album by a past or current Kiss member to reach the Top 10 on the chart.”  Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Slash, Lita Ford, and John 5 jumped at the chance to collaborate with him on 2016’s Origins Vol. 1, bowing at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart and in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart.  He notably maintained his momentum with Spaceman [2018] and Origins Vol. 2 [2020].  Applauding the latter, Forbes proclaimed, “The idea of fun has always defined ‘The Spaceman’s’ best work but never more so than on the cover songs that make up the Origins releases.”

Jumpstarting his next chapter, he parlayed this energy into 10,000 Volts. He introduces this body of work with the first single and title track.  A surging riff sets the tone for “10,000 Volts” as his swaggering delivery takes hold and never lets go.  It culminates on the chantable chorus, “She hit me like 10,000 volts, when I saw her face,” giving way to a fret-burning guitar solo- of course!  Then, there’s “Walkin’ On The Moon.”  His voice rings out between towering distortion as a lovestruck hook echoes, “When I wake up, you’re all I see.  You got me walkin’ on the moon!”  His string bends practically engages in a call-and-response with the refrain, while another celestial solo resounds.  A mean palm-muted chug underlines his pensive vocals on “Cherry Medicine” where he confesses, “I knew I had to change my ways for sure to keep you by my side.”

Elsewhere, he beams out an otherworldly sonic frequency of his own on “Up In The Sky.”  He urges, “They’re up in the sky.  Girl, I know what I saw.  Can’t trust the news.  Can’t trust the law.”  A cinematic hum dissolves into melodic clean guitar on the instrumental finale “Stratosphere.”  Frehley’s evocative playing channels epic emotion with one of his most stunning and lyrical lead lines to date.

In the end, Frehley doesn’t need any makeup, because there’s nothing but uncontainable electricity at the heart of 10,000 Volts.  As it turns out, the man who once sang “Shock Me” is as much of a livewire as ever in 2024 and beyond.

KC and the Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 50 years ago.  Harry Wayne Casey—KC for short—developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string of hits like “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s The Way (I Like It)” and “Shake Your Booty.”  With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and an American Music Award, KC and the Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the 70s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music.  Today, KC and the Sunshine Band play over 100 live shows annually, circling the country and playing dates regularly throughout Europe, Australia and South America.  This year KC will celebrate 50 years of entertaining us, writing songs, and performing around the world and has no intention of stopping.

In the last decade KC has continued to influence the dance and disco scene by releasing new music, most recently his single, “Unconditional Love featuring Bimbo Jones.”  In March of 2015 KC and the Sunshine Band released, “Feeling You! The 60s.”  The album was a tribute to the era that shaped KC into the revolutionary artist he became in the 70s.  Covers on the album include songs by sixties legends Bob Dylan, Ben E. King, The Kinks, The Righteous Brothers, Jackie DeShannon, Aaron Neville and many more.  Just like the rest of America during that time he was inspired by the music, innocence, sex, social and political movements and counterculture of the era, which led to him founding the Dance Revolution and teaching the world how to boogie.

“The widespread social and political issues of the 1960s was, in part, the inspiration to do something that would make people forget about their problems and be happy,” said Casey.  “People were looking for something that would divert their attention from the negative aspects of everyday life surrounding them.”

KC started working in the music business at age 17, performing menial tasks around the T.K. Records/Studio complex in his hometown of Miami.  The Sunshine Band originated in 1973.  Their first record, Blow Your Whistle, made the top 15 on the R&B chart.  Their second album, KC and the Sunshine Band, was released in 1975, went triple platinum and contained the #1 hits “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes” and “Rock Your Baby.”  KC and the Sunshine Band became the first act to score four #1 pop singles in one 12-month period since the Beatles in 1964.  Three of those singles also crossed over to become #1 R&B tracks.

KC’s third album, Part 3, released in 1976, also went triple platinum and contained the #1 singles “I’m Your Boogie Man,” “Shake Your Booty” and “Keep It Comin’ Love.”  The band’s string of hit singles continued with “Boogie Shoes,” which was included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, “Please Don’t Go” and “Yes, I’m Ready,” a duet with high school friend Teri DeSario.  KC returned to the charts in 1983 with “Give It Up,” which also hit #1 in the UK.

KC’s success in music has earned him an extensive list of accolades including an American Music Award for Best R&B Artist in 1975 and a songwriting Grammy for Best R&B song for “Where Is The Love,” which was recorded by Betty Wright.  He also received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, as well as Producer of the Year in 1978 for his work on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.  In 2001, KC was honored with the NARAS Governor’s Award, the highest honor given by a chapter of the Academy.  He received a coveted Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002, where Dick Clark and music producer Michael Lloyd turned out to honor him.  This particular recognition represents the passion that KC has in writing music, implementing elements of various eras in his songs, proving him to be a passionate, veteran craftsman.  All of these career highlights are chronicled in his book, That’s The Way I Like It –The Harry Wayne Casey Story, which was published that same year.

KC’s music continues to be a favorite today.  His songs have appeared in ads for companies like General Motors, Burger King, Payless Shoes, Papa John’s Pizza, Old Navy and Nick at Nite.  His music has also been featured in over 200 commercials and movies such as Forrest Gump (“Get Down Tonight”), Boogie Nights (“Boogie Shoes”), Boys Don’t Cry (“Rock Your Baby”), Rush Hour (“Get Down Tonight”), Carlito’s Way (“Rock Your Baby,” “Shake Your Booty” and “That’s The Way I Like It”) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (“Shake Your Booty”).  In the summer of 2003, KC also had a cameo in the feature film The In-Laws starring Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks.

KC’s songs are regularly heard at sporting events, were featured during Opening Ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy and he even performed a free concert in Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Olympics. No stranger to the small screen, KC’s songs have been featured in such shows as Desperate Housewives, Ally McBeal, American Bandstand’s 50^th Anniversary Party and most recently American Idol and Dancing With The Stars with the help of the USC marching band.  Additionally, KC and the Sunshine Band have the distinction of having made more appearances on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve than any other artist in the program’s history!

If ever the term “music business royalty” applies, it is custom made for Wilson Phillips.  Literally born into the music business, Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips were born with vocal harmonies in their DNA.  Carnie and Wendy are the daughters of Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson, and Chynna is the daughter of the equally notorious Michelle and John Phillips of the famed Mamas and Papas.

Friends since birth, Carnie and Chynna knew each other even before Wendy was born.  Best friends growing up, the three of them would often share their love for music and specifically for vocal harmonies.  In 1989 they were signed to SBK Records, and their debut album was released in 1990.

Their debut album had three number one singles including HOLD ON, RELEASE ME, and IMPULSIVE.  And it sold five million copies in the US alone.  Their debut album was nominated for four Grammy awards. Their follow up album, released in 1992, had their fourth number one single YOU’RE IN LOVE.  They have sold over ten million albums worldwide over their storied career becoming one of the best-selling female groups in recorded music history.

Taking a break from recording and touring, all three have married (they still are married to their first husbands) and collectively have raised nine children as very hands-on moms.

Returning to recording in 2004 releasing three albums on Sony – their take on California classics (CALIFORNIA), a wonderful Christmas album (CHRISTMAS IN HARMONY), and a tribute album singing the hits of their parents (DEDICATED).  All three albums charted in the Billboard top 50 and get airplay to this day.

The most unexpected “surprise” in their career was their appearance in the comedy classic BRIDESMAIDS in 2011 singing HOLD ON.  It was a surprise in that they were told that they were simply performing in a “wedding scene.”  The director, Judd Apatow never told them they were in the final scene and the punchline in the entire movie.  That classic scene secured their place as one of the most beloved harmony groups ever.

And these best friends continue to record and harmonize with each other releasing a harmony-rich version of Harry Styles’ song BOYFRIENDS in November of 2022.

The wait is over.  Legendary frontman Stephen Pearcy and guitar virtuoso Warren DeMartini, the driving forces behind RATT, are back together, in Pearcy | DeMartini, bringing fans the music that made their band one of the most influential of the ‘80s hard rock scene.

RATT’s signature Sunset Strip sound helped define a generation, making them one of the biggest rock acts of the mid-’80s.  As pioneers of Hollywood’s legendary hard rock scene, Pearcy and DeMartini became true rock legends—headlining massive arena tours with RATT and selling multiple platinum albums.

Now, Pearcy and DeMartini are reigniting the fire, delivering the music that made RATT a household name with an all-star lineup including Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot, Ratt), Blas Elias (Slaughter) and Matt Thorne (Ratt).

“Never say never, right?  There was no question when the idea was brought up doing something with Warren again.  It wasn’t even a thought, its time, let’s do this.  Pearcy | DeMartini back in the cellar, let’s go!” says Stephen.

“I am thrilled to get back in front of the fans, performing these songs they made famous,” adds Warren.

This isn’t just a band—it’s a celebration of the music that made Hollywood the epicenter of hard rock.  With iconic anthems like Round and Round, Lay It Down, and Wanted Man, Pearcy | DeMartini are bringing the arena rock spectacle back to life with the energy, attitude, and authenticity only the originals can deliver.

Get ready to RATT n’ ROLL!

Kenny Wayne Shepherd Promotes Two Albums and One BIG Tour
‘Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol. 2’ AND ‘Young Fashioned Ways’ with Bobby Rush

With a career as distinctive as Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s, it’s unusual to say “this is the first time” but, in a rare career first for a multi-platinum, Grammy nominated global superstar who has seen and done it all, Shepherd has two spectacular albums to promote simultaneously.

With the acclaimed ‘Dirt on My Diamonds Vol. 2’ having been released in September, and the widely anticipated upcoming release, ‘Young Fashioned Ways’ with the legendary Bobby Rush (to be released on March 21, 2025) Kenny Wayne Shepherd has quite a tour planned for his fans.

Shepherd’s shows have become legendary with his incendiary guitar and the ceaseless energy the band projects showcasing his hit songs from Ledbetter Heights and Trouble Is…all the way through Dirt On My Diamonds Vol. 2. And now, with the added bonus of Bobby Rush, fans can expect a truly unique experience. “This tour will be incredibly special,” says Shepherd. “There are so many different ways to structure the show having Bobby out with us. The current plan is to start the show with a set with just me and Bobby, stripped down, featuring songs from our new album together and then transition into the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band set.”

Taking fans on a musical journey of the many different sounds of Blues music is something Shepherd has mastered. “There will be acoustic, electric, and everything in between.”

THE TURTLES are best known for their harmony-heavy California pop sound.  With such hits as “Elenore,” “She’d Rather Be with Me,” “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “You Showed Me,” and the title of the tour, “Happy Together,” the band ruled the airwaves in the late ‘60s.  Ron Dante joins the line-up to delight with his own mega-hits, “Sugar Sugar,” and “Tracy.”

Few groups have ever reached the musical heights with hits from 1962 – 1971 as JAY and the AMERICANS!   This group charted an amazing Five Billboard “Top 10” hits and Twelve “Top 20” hit records.  Their breakout hit was “She Cried.”  Their next chart hit was “Only In America,” which they followed with hit songs “Come A Little Bit Closer,” “Cara Mia,” and “This Magic Moment,” which hit the “Billboard Top 10.”

LITTLE ANTHONY will feature all his timeless classics including: “Tears on My Pillow,” “Shimmy, Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop,” “I’m on the Outside (Looking In),” “Goin’ Out of My Head,” “Take Me Back,” “Hurt So Bad,” and more.

Also back on the Happy Together Tour for 2025 is GARY PUCKETT & THE UNION GAP.  Gary’s trademark voice will be belting out his hits one more time.  Fans will affectionately remember “Young Girl,” “Over You,” “Woman, Woman,” “This Girl Is A Woman Now,” “Lady Willpower,” “Don’t Give In To Him,” and more.

Rounding out the performance at Four Winds New Buffalo are THE VOGUES who are also known for their harmony-driven soaring pop sound.  They had numerous “Top 10” hits with singles such as “Five O’clock World,” “You’re the One,” “My Special Angel,” and “Turn Around Look At Me,” among others.

Barry is probably best known for playing Brad Majors in the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show and Mayor Randall Winston in the long running sitcom “Spin City,” as well as creating the role of Danny Zuko in the original Broadway production of Grease for which he received his first of three Tony nominations, and finally winning the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical for the lead character in The Robber Bridegroom.  You can also look for him in the other cult favorite film Megaforce, along with FDR: American Badass, Spyhard, Fantastic Planet, Three From Hell, Undercover Brother 2, The Outlaw Johnny Black, American Pie: Girls Rule, the popular Netflix film Single All The Way, and the soon to be released Daruma.  And his personal favorite Movie Movie with George C. Scott and directed by Stanley Donan among others.

Series TV kept him busy with “Cougar Town,” “Law and Order: SVU,” “Supernatural,” “Psych,” “Phinias and Ferb,” and for Disney, “Doogie Kahealoha” and numerous animated features and TV shows.

Nell Campbell – the original Columbia
Nell Campbell, aka Little Nell, was born Laura Campbell in Sydney, Australia on May 24th 1953.  Her father Ross, a well-known journalist and humorist, coined her Little Nell in his weekly newspaper column about their family life.

From the age of ten she studied ballet, modern dance, tap and singing.  On leaving high school she attended a one-year course at Drama School.  At age 18 she moved to London and among other jobs busked in the street, singing and tap dancing to 1930’s songs where director Jim Sharman spotted her and soon after asked if she would be in his upcoming stage production of a new musical, The Rocky Horror Show, to open at the tiny, sixty seat Theatre Upstairs of The Royal Court Theatre.

After a three-week rehearsal period with new songs being written as they went along, the show opened and was an overnight sensation.  The following year the film The Rocky Horror Picture Show was made and although originally not a success in the U.S., midnight screenings with audience participation began and thanks to the wonderful fans it is the longest running film of all time.

Nell’s career includes a string of singles for A&M Records, opening her legendary nightclub, Nell’s, in New York City and working as a journalist all the while continuing to appear in theatre, television and film.

Patricia Quinn – the original Magenta
Patricia Quinn, Lady Stephens (born May 28, 1944) is an actress and singer from Northern Ireland.  She is best known for her role as Magenta in the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and the original stage play from which it was adapted.  In the film’s opening title sequence, the movements of her disembodied lips are synchronized with the lyrics of the title song, “Science Fiction/Double Feature” (the singing voice is that of scriptwriter and actor Richard O’Brien).

Patricia was born in Belfast to James Connolly Quinn, a bookmaker, and his wife Rebecca.  She attended the Princess Gardens Grammar School, where she developed an early talent for acting.  Following stints at Belfast’s Arts Theatre and British Drama League, she left for London aged 17.  In 1969, she trained at the Drama Centre London while simultaneously working as a blackjack-dealing Bunny at the Playboy Club in Mayfair.  In 1971, she was in repertory for six months with the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow.  She played Elizabeth Siddal in the 1975 miniseries “The Love School.”  In I, Claudius (1976), she took the role of the Emperor Claudius’s sister Livilla.  She also played Isla in “The Professionals” episode “Look After Annie” in 1978.

Her other film and TV roles include the semi-sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Shock Treatment.  She played “Woman” in Hawk the Slayer (1980).  She appeared in the “Hammer House of Horror” episode “Witching Time” as Lucinda Jessop (1981), Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (1983), and the 1987 Doctor Who serial “Dragonfire.”  Her latest film credit is Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem (2012).

In 2000, Patricia recorded the song “Guts To Dream” with London-based band The Grand.  The song was due to form part of an EP titled “Open Displays of Affection,” but the group had disbanded before it was released.  Patricia gave a copy of the unreleased CD to the winner of a Magenta costume contest at The Rocky Horror Picture Show 25th Anniversary Convention in Las Vegas.

In 2002, she returned to “Doctor Who,” playing an alien queen in the audio play Bang-Bang-a-Boom!.  In September 2006, she relaunched her career as a DJ and club kitten, hosting the monthly “ClubMyra” night at various venues in Central London.  In April 2007, she joined Patrick Wolf at a concert in London, singing “Accident and Emergency.”

In October 2008, Patricia made a guest appearance in a production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in New York City, participating in a question-and-answer session as well as unexpectedly performing “Science Fiction/Double Feature.”  She attended a Rocky Horror Picture Show convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey in July 2011, answering questions as well as introducing a performance of the show, staged at the House of Blues.  In May 2013, she served as the honorary Master of Ceremonies for a Rocky Horror Picture Show performance at the Dallas-based Texas Frightmare Weekend horror convention.  That same month, she was the guest of honor at a 40th Anniversary Tribute Concert to the original Rocky Horror Show stage production, hosted at the Victoria Theatre in San Francisco, California by local drag celebrity Peaches Christ.  During the tribute conference, Patricia performed “Science Fiction/Double Feature,” answered questions on stage with Christ, and signed autographs for the audience.

Leveraging the power of their connection, brothers communicate in their own vernacular understood by one another, yet alien to the rest of the world.  Los Lonely Boys speak the typically unspoken language of brotherhood out loud in their music.  The GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum San Angelo, Texas trio—Henry Garza [vocals, guitar], Jojo Garza [bass, vocals], and Ringo Garza [drums]—have welcomed audiences into their family with open arms since emerging back in 1996.  Scaling one mountain at a time, they have summited unprecedented heights.  2004’s seminal self-titled, Los Lonely Boys, reached double-platinum status and yielded the gold-certified generational smash “Heaven,” which cracked the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and notched a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.”  In its wake, Sacred bowed at #2 on the Billboard 200, paving the way for fan favorites Forgiven [2008], Rockpango [2011], and Revelation [2013].  Along the way, they collaborated with legends such as Santana, Willie Nelson, and Dr. John in addition to performing everywhere from the World Series to CMT’s Crossroads.

However, the light at the heart of their brotherhood shines as brightly as ever on their 2023 debut for BMG and much more to come.

“These are the only guys I’ve played with my whole life,” laughs Jojo.  “So, there’s nothing like it.  We do have a language without words.  It’s built through vibrations and sound.”

“It happens on stage and when we’re in the studio,” agrees Ringo.  “We all feel it.  We can look at each other and not say anything, because we instinctively know where we’re going.  It’s hard to explain.  Real blood is thicker than music.”

“When we’re on stage, we’re trying to grab these feelings from the ether and put them together as one voice,” observes Henry.  “As a three-piece band, there’s a special connection, but being brothers, we have a whole different level of camaraderie.  Even outside of the music industry, we can all feel the truth, beauty, and strength behind a family working together.  If my brothers and I decided to be lawyers or plumbers, it’d be just as powerful as the band, because we’d be doing it together.  The world could never rip it apart.  We’ll always keep going.”

They’ve proven that.

After 23 years of relentless recording and touring, Los Lonely Boys mutually agreed to take a rest in 2019.  As family, communication never ceased though.  With the pandemic, “one domino fell after another,” and the break lengthened due to extenuating circumstances.

“It’s like the Higher Power above mandated we take a little hiatus,” says Henry.  “We were being told to stop, and it just so happened to be right before COVID.”

“It was essentially a sabbatical,” says Jojo.  “Once music is in your blood, it’s in your blood for eternity.”

As such, a different kind of divinity stepped in to interrupt the band’s slumber.  The Who invited Los Lonely Boys to open a string of shows around Cinco De Mayo in 2022.  They agreed, because, well who can say, “No” to The Who?

“It was confirmation like this is what we’re supposed to do, man.” Jojo states.

“The shows were emotional,” admits Ringo.  “We wanted to make sure we played well for the audiences.  The nerves went away once we got on stage, but there were a lot of tears.  It was like no time had passed between us.  It sparked everything up again.  We didn’t need to say anything.  We were all writing again and went, ‘Let’s record!’”

Fittingly, they turn the page on this next chapter with “Send More Love.”  Acoustic strumming gives way to a dreamy guitar melody as the hook pleads, “This world is going crazy, can you send more love?”  It culminates on a powerful chant underlined by eloquent six-string soul.

“There’s so much suffering in the world,” sighs Henry.  “You look around and see craziness everywhere on social media, in the news, at dinner tables, and during every conversation.  I sat down, and the song came through me.  I imagined dialing the phone and talking to God.  It’s like a broke kid at school who’s running out of money and calling his parents.  We’re asking the heavenly father, ‘Could you send more love down here? We’re going broke’.”

“The last time Henry wrote a song like this we went worldwide,” chuckles Jojo.  “We all thought ‘Send More Love’ was special.”

Maintaining their creative momentum with Jojo spearheading production, the follow-up “Dance With Me” channels the bliss of true love in all of its movements.

“It’s basically the whole concept of a man and woman experiencing the dance of life and the dance of love together as one,” he reveals.  “It’s a powerful song in different way.  It’s representative of Los Lonely Boys, but with a more modern twist.”

In the end, Los Lonely Boys channel the strength of their brotherhood and share it with the world.

“We do what we do because something greater than all of us has given us the ability to do so,” Jojo leaves off.  “We don’t take credit for any of this.  We’re simply thankful to do this together.”

“I record for my brothers,” Ringo adds.  “I want to impress them.  If they love it, I love it, and we all love it, it seems like fans will too.  It’s the same formula.  Family first.”

“We’re still familia,” Henry concludes.  “And we’re going to give it our all until our last breath, man.”
