Los Lonely Boys take ΊΪΑΟΙη Riley Center stage this month

Los Lonely Boys

A family that plays together will play at the ΊΪΑΟΙη Riley Center in downtown Meridian when Los Lonely Boys bring their β€œTexican rock ’n’ roll” to the stage on Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m.

Los Lonely Boys burst into stardom in 2004 with the catchy single β€œHeaven,” which hit number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and won them a Grammy Award. Their seamless vocal harmonies and energetic onstage chemistry reflect the closeness of the Garza brothers: Henry, Jojo and Ringo Jr., who play guitar, bass and drums, respectively.

The Garzas have roots in Texas and also spent time in Nashville, so they have absorbed a wide variety of musical influences. Bluesy rock and Latin-flavored soul form the bedrock of their sound. Many songs also betray a fondness for melodic pop music.

β€œWe’re all about having a good time, but we also make an effort to write about things that really matter,” Jojo Garza said. β€œWe want to create music that’s about the love and the energy and the spirit that we all carry as people.”

Tickets are $43 and $37 at the ΊΪΑΟΙη Riley Center Box Office, which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tickets can be purchased online at or by calling the box office at 601-696-2200.
