Los Lobos with James Hunter

One of America’s truly great roots rock bands, Los Lobos has crossed musical, cultural and generational boundaries for more than three decades. Their music draws equally from rock, R&B, Tex-Mex, and Spanish-Mexican influences and has made them a major force in American pop music. Renowned for clean, masterful songwriting and soulful, unique sound brilliantly showcased on such classic recordings as “How Will the Wolf Survive?” and “Kiko,” the band continues its road trip along the vast and varied American landscape with its latest roots-rock album, The Town and City.

Van Morrison calls James Hunter, “the best voice and best-kept secret in British R&B and soul.” Indeed he sounds like a one-man blue eyed-revival on his Grammy-nominated, critically acclaimed North American debut People Gonna Talk. With his remarkable talents as a singer, guitarist, and songwriter, he performs music that is timeless, sounding instantly classic and perpetually modern. From tight and right ska shuffles to locomotive bluesy-soul grooves, Hunter and his band stir up hardened gig-goers and young-hipsters alike with their rich, classic sound.
