My last show, for what was a very busy 2017, took place at New York S City Winery. Los Lobos is from east L.A. and lauded world wide as a versatile group whose musical choices run the gamut from blues, country, Tex-Mex and just about everything in between. They do not look like the stereotypical rock and roll act and this adds to the charm of the band who are as talented and tight as any band you will see anywhere. I cannot claim to know the band’s music intimately but I know a good band when I see it and these men are battle tested from years on the road and an extraordinary live act.

On a night when I had to get up early the next day, the band took the stage shortly after 8 but took an intermission about 45 minutes into the show which kind of killed the show’s momentum and cut short my evening quite a bit. The band sounded great and The Gull told me they closed with Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl” which I would have loved to have seen.

Happy New Year’s Eve Eve

Rock on!
