Special guest Jackie Greene opens for the amazing Los Lobos, a 25 year old quintet from Los Angeles, California. Combining folk, Tex-Mex, and country music with rock, folk, and the blues, Los Lobos is continually stretching the bounds of fusion rock and confounds anyone who attempts to classify their sound. They just released “Live at the Fillmore” in 2005 on the Hollywood label. They consistently get good reviews from the press.

Editorial Review:
Album Description:
This triple-Grammy winning group of consummate musicians and songwriters out of East L.A. began their career interpreting Mexican folk music and went on to be a globally renowned purvayor of a diverse and adventurous repertoire of roots-flavored masterpieces. Drawing from rock, country, blues, folk, R&B, Americana, and traditional Spanish and Latin American idioms, Los Lobos continually pushed the boundaries of their sound, while remaining magnificently gritty and graceful throughout.
