\"201-2\"<\/a>Some good old rip snortin\u2019 blues rock always seems to fit for a select group of music lovers in Houston. Nobody fills that bill better than theTex Mex brother trio called Los Lonely Boys. The band consists of Jojo Garza (bass,vocals),\u00a0 Ringo Garza (drums,vocals) and Henry Garza (guitar,vocals). They have been together since the mid-90\u2019s,but hit it big in 2004 with the mega hit \u201cHeaven\u201d. That tune does not personify what people come to see though.\u00a0 Henry\u2019s \u201cTexican Rock n\u2019 Roll\u201d blazing style leans towards Stevie Ray Vaughn big time.\u00a0 His scorching solos are always a treat to witness live.<\/p>\n

This night would be no different as LLB ignited the audience with Texas flavored blues songs such as \u201cDon\u2019t\u2019 Walk Away\u201d, \u201cBlame It On Love\u201d complete with their cousin on accordion, and \u201cGive A Little More\u201d where Henry showcased his exceptional talent brandishing electric sparks on his solos! The band can slip into Southern rock, too like \u201cSo Sensual\u201d where Ringo did double duty on skins and conga. Jojo never stops moving even though he had a heavy leather coat on. You get it all with this threesome from Latino Blues to Chicano spiced rock.\u00a0 The brothers tour constantly and even though they are somewhat under the radar these days they continue to have a cult like following. The crowd was out to enjoy the holidays right down to the encore of what else-\u201cHeaven\u201d.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen these cats since they used to blow the walls down at the Continental Club in downtown Houston and they still pack a killer punch.<\/p>\n

\"095-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The nostalgia night started with old buds Sisters Morales. I\u2019ve seen this act so much over the years and this was a comeback performance of sorts.\u00a0 Roberta Morales had left the band and now they have gotten back together heavily promoting their Spanish flavored songs. Her lovely sister Lisa and killer lead guitarist David Spencer were in tow and sounded very good filling the big stage. Their sugar sweet harmonies combined with Spencer\u2019s low key monster guitar solos have been around for over 20 years. This night they did almost all Spanish songs which seems to be what they want to pursue for now. It was great to hear Lisa\u2019s emotional heartfelt style mixing with Roberta\u2019s bluesy delivery from song to song.\u00a0 They have that excellent stage \u201cthing\u201d going strong after all these years and hopefully they\u2019ll continue to play as Sisters Morales.<\/p>\n
