SUMMARY:Los Lobos
DESCRIPTION:“one of the hottest live acts on the planet” – BBC\n  \nIt’s a matter of time. Fifty years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work\, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running\, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. \nThey’ve also recorded seventeen studio albums\, seven live LPs\, three compilations\, two EPs\, two DVDs\, and contributed over forty guest appearances on their friends’ recordings. They have garnered five Grammys\, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction and the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award. \nBut beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all\, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather\, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others\, working for peace and justice. Further\, they’ve penned some of the most literate and important music of their time. They transform the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope\, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. \nThe young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul\, R&B\, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues\, jazz\, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos\, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots. \nQuite simply\, they are one of the tightest\, one of the best\, one of the most prolific bands ever. And\, amazingly\, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it\, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo\, Louie Pérez\, Jr.\, Cesar Rosas\, Conrad Lozano\, Steve Berlin.” \n📸: Piero F. Giunti \nRecommended for fans of Alejandro Escovedo\, Roy Orbison\, Ritchie Valens and Elvis Presley.

SUMMARY:Bob Schneider
DESCRIPTION:“wonderfully emotive… a joy to behold.” – American Songwriter\n  \nBob Schneider is one of the most celebrated musicians in Austin\, Texas. Representing the live music capital\, he’s a singer-songwriter and former frontman of The Ugly Americans and The Scabs. Combining diverse styles\, Schneider’s music spans genres\, blending elements of folk\, rock\, rap\, funk\, bluegrass\, reggae and country with the more traditional singer/songwriter aesthetic. In short\, FRUNK. \nSchneider draws inspiration from the ’70s with a modern twist. His lyrics\, both playful and powerful\, tackle tough subjects about alienation\, addiction\, and lost romance. He has won more than fifty-nine Austin Music Awards including Best Album\, Best Songwriter\, Best Musician\, and Best Male Vocals. This makes him the most decorated artist in Austin music history. \nBob’s fan base reaches far beyond the city limits of Austin. He started gaining national recognition with his major-label debut\, 2001’s Lonelyland. A fiercely independent artist\, Schneider opted to start his own label\, Shockorama Records. This affords him the freedom to make the music his fans love\, on his own terms. \nSchneider’s live performances are legendary\, whether playing intimate clubs solo or with his band at events and festivals. He remains one of the most unique and captivating performers working today. Schneider is a two-time performer on his hometown’s famed Austin City Limits television show. He is also in the twentieth year of his residency at The Saxon Pub. \nBob Schneider has released more than a dozen albums (with a new one on the way). He has also written over 1000 songs\, is a published author and an avid painter and collage artist. He does all this while playing over a hundred shows a year and he doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. \nRecommended for fans of Todd Snider\, Ike Reilly\, Charlie Mars and Wilco.
