Los Lonely Boys expand 'Sacred' tour
Tex-Mex rockers Los Lonely Boys continue to expand their touring plans in support of their recently issued sophomore album, "Sacred."
The group recently confirmed a November leg of nearly a dozen dates with Ozomatli to follow its current summer trek, which includes several appearances in support of Santana .
Another recent addition to the trio's itinerary is a slot at this year's Farm Aid benefit show, set to take place Sept. 30 at Camden, NJ's Tweeter Center at the Waterfront. Los Lonely Boys will join longtime Farm Aid mainstays Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews, among others.
"Sacred" is the follow-up to Los Lonely Boys' 2003, self-titled debut, which--on the strength of the Grammy-winning single "Heaven," has been certified double-platinum in the US for shipping more than 2 million copies. The new album entered The Billboard 200 album chart at No. 2 during its debut week in July, but quickly fell from the chart's upper echelon.
The family group--which features the Garza brothers Henry (guitar), Jojo (bass) and Ringo (drums)--released its debut album on the small Or Music label. Sony picked up distribution for the release in 2004, and the group's popularity quickly took off.
