Los Lonely Boys gear up for summer

Tex-Mex rockers Los Lonely Boys have lined up a summer slate heavy on festival appearances as they continue to back last year's "Forgiven."

The San Angelo, TX, trio of Garza brothers--Henry (guitar), JoJo (bass) and Ringo (vocals)--launch into the summer session June 4 at the BamaJam Music Festival in Enterprise, AL. The group will also play a few casino dates on the jaunt, which runs through a July 5 appearance in Duluth, MN. The full schedule is included below.

The trio's third studio album, "Forgiven," surfaced last July, reaching No. 26 on The Billboard 200. Several songs on the set, which was produced by Steve Jordan (John Mayer, Herbie Hancock), feature New Orleans icon Dr. John on keyboards. A few of the tunes, including lead single "Staying With Me," are streaming at Los Lonely Boys' MySpace page.

"Forgiven" follows 2006's "Sacred," which debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200, and LLB's double-platinum-selling, Grammy-winning 2003 self-titled debut, which spawned the No. 1 adult-contemporary hit "Heaven."

In October, the band released the holiday-themed "Christmas Spirit," which features 10 tracks, including "I've Longed for Christmas," "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," "Run Rudolph Run" and "Feliz Navidad."
