Los Lonely Boys extend 'Sacred' trek
"Texican" rockers Los Lonely Boys are set to follow up on already strong roadwork for their latest release, "Sacred," with a slate of late-year dates spilling over into the first two months of 2007.
The band, which recently opened for The Rolling Stones on the latest North American leg of that group's "A Bigger Bang" tour, kicks off its year-spanning run with a Dec. 5 show in St. Louis, MO. The 12-date outing will run through January and into the early parts of February.
The group recently tackled a slot at this year's edition of the Farm Aid benefit show. The Sept. 30 concert also included performances from 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 chart at No. 2 during its debut week in July, but quickly fell from the 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.
