Event Details
Since 1974, East L.A.'s Los Lobos have been exploring the artistic and commercial possibilities of American biculturalism, moving back and forth between their Chicano roots and their love of American rock & roll. Although the band first gained fame as part of the early-Eighties roots-rock revival, they didn't so much strip music down as mix it up, playing norteño, blues, country, Tex-Mex, ballads, folk, and rock. They have been guests on albums by Ry Cooder, Elvis Costello, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Roomful of Blues, and Paul Simon, and their music has been featured in films such as "La Bamba" and "Desperado".
With his last two albums, the Grammy-nominated "People Gonna Talk" and 2008’s "The Hard Way", James Hunter delivered a classic yet perpetually modern brand of rhythm and blues that captivated listeners across generations and earned him two Billboard Blues #1's, tours with Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, Etta James, and performances on Jay Leno & David Letterman.
The lates release "Minute By Minute" is the first James Hunter album to be recorded in the USA, and the first to be produced by Gabriel Roth, co- founder of Daptone Records, America’s premier soul revival imprint. He earned a Grammy for his expert engineering on Amy Winehouse’s best–selling album "Back to Black", and has also produced recordings by Lee Fields, Charles Bradley and Sharon Jones & the Dap–Kings.
