Ironstone 2008 Season Opener Sheryl Crow and Los Lonely Boys
Murphys, CA....The 2008 Ironstone Summer Concert Series season opener is Sheryl Crow and the Los Lonely Boys on Friday June 13th. Doors open at 7pm. Ironstone Amphitheatre at Ironstone Vineyards is located at 1894 Six Mile Road in Murphys. "We are very excited to start our 2008 Season with 9-time Grammy Winner Sheryl Crow and we are particularly pleased that the show includes the return of Los Lonely boys to Ironstone. This is an awesome show to start an awesome season." Says Ironstone.....
SHERYL CROW
Bolder and more free-spirited than ever, Sheryl Crow embarks on paths both deeply personal and grandly global on her album “Detours” (Interscope/A&M Records). Filled with songs about having and holding, changing and letting go, about beginnings and endings, and the roads between them, “Detours” was inspired by “how I feel things are going in the world and what’s happened to me the last couple of years,” says the nine-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter. Crow’s lyrical signposts range from the demise of a relationship, the adoption of a child (baby Wyatt, who guests on “Lullaby For Wyatt”), a public bout with breast cancer to the war in Iraq (“Peace Be Upon Us,” featuring Arabic lyrics sung by Ahmed Al Hirmi), environmental disasters (“Gasoline” featuring Ben Harper), and the ravaged New Orleans of Hurricane Katrina (“Love is Free”).
On Detours, the fearlessly outspoken Sheryl Crow continues a journey of self-discovery that has increasingly appealed to both the head and the heart.
LOS LONELY BOYS
The music of Los Lonely Boys melds the freshness of youth with the depth of veteran players, songwriters, and entertainers. This Texas-bred trio of brothers, aged 19-23, already boasts a decade of professional experience, starting out before they hit their teens. It's a background that imbues their sound with a distinctive richness, stylistic breadth, and listener appeal.
Los Lonely Boys write, sing, and play music drawn from diverse sources, blending their influences into a seamless style. Weaned on Tex-Mex, country, blues, rock pioneers like Richie Valens, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino, and such pop music giants as The Beatles, Los Lonely Boys augment those solid basics with red-hot guitar playing, percolating rock and Latin rhythms, and solid, tuneful bass lines, all of which are applied to songs rife with engaging hooks, lyrical substance, and melodic sumptuousness.
Los Lonely Boys are the three Garza brothers: Henry on guitar, Jojo on bass, and Ringo on drums. Their dynamic interplay and luscious vocal harmonies--all three brothers also sing--is not just the result of sibling togetherness, but also years of making a living for themselves and their father and mentor playing music on just about every type of stage and venue known to modern working musicians. Los Lonely Boys have not only played all across the Lone Star State, but also throughout the Southeast. Currently, they are a regular attraction on the competitive Austin club circuit, and appear at major venues and festivals throughout the South and Midwest.
