Los Lonely Boys take Ƶ Riley Center stage this month
A family that plays together will play at the Ƶ Riley Center in downtown Meridian when Los Lonely Boys bring their “Texican 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 “Heaven,” 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.
“We’re all about having a good time, but we also make an effort to write about things that really matter,” Jojo Garza said. “We 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 Ƶ 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.
