THE LAST BANDOLEROS
San Antonio’s native sons, The Last Bandoleros, have been turning heads with their accomplished musicianship and impressive harmonies opening for Sting, The Mavericks, Los Lobos and Dwight Yoakum. Their alluring sound - a mix of Texas roots and modern Latin flavor - which the band call “Tex-Flex” - has built them a fervent following. The Last Bandoleros’ album, “Live from Texas,” shot to #6 on the iTunes album chart after their kinetic performance on ABC’s Good Morning America. Their song “Maldita” also receive a prestigious Premio Tejano Mundial award for “Crossover Song of the Year.” The Last Bandoleros’ new song, “California Moon,” is a duet with singer/songwriter Hannah Brier whose own song “Violet” was recently featured on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” playlist. Hannah’s voice can also be heard on Sting’s new “Por Su Amor” as well as Samantha Fish’s “Faster” album which spent 3 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and reached #2 on the Folk/Americana chart. Propelled by an inviting acoustic guitar rhythm, the romantic “California Moon” captures a wistful, nostalgic feeling while vividly evoking the magical sights of an unforgettable Los Angeles skyline and indelible drive down Sunset Boulevard. The song and accompanying video have been released in both English and Spanish versions. The Last Bandoleros (Diego Navaira on vocals/bass, Emilio Navaira on vocals/drums and Jerry Fuentes on vocals/guitar) are currently performing live opening for Sting, The Boss Hoss and the Gin Blossoms.
LISA MORALES
On her upcoming third solo album, She Ought to Be King, MexicanAmerican vocalist, and singer-songwriter, Lisa Morales once again affirms her world-class stature with a distinctive perspective and a remarkable capacity for looking both inward and outward.
The Texas-based artist calls on people to come together in these stressful personal and political times. She demands people's rights and paints everyday portraits of the pressures of motherhood and womanhood.
“I’ve been looking at how strong we women are,” Morales states. “We keep evolving and gaining more confidence with time. We don’t sink into our own shoes- we stand taller in them. The title “She Ought to Be King” echoes that."
In the first single, Freedom, Morales sings about the power of loving each other as a mother does, and speaking up when we see injustices. The message: simply love thy neighbor.
The 12-song She Ought to Be King is produced by noted singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Garza. Freedom features Santana cofounder Gregg Rolie, who plays organ and provides backing vocals. It also features bassist Tim Lefebvre, keyboardist Rachel Eckroth and drummer Beth Goodfellow.
She Ought to Be King maintains the high standard of emotional forthrightness that Morales established on her earlier solo efforts Beautiful Mistake and Luna Negra & the Daughter of the Sun. Her solo albums won universally ecstatic reviews. Lone Star Music called Beautiful Mistake “one of the most beautiful records that will be released all year…an absolutely flat-out devastating and stunning work of art.” Rolling Stone called her,”… one of the most multifaceted artists to watch.” The later album revealed her Mexican heritage, both in poetic and lyrical rhythm, weaving Spanglish which sets her apart stylistically.
Like her cousin Linda Ronstadt, Lisa and her sister Roberta grew up in a musical family in Tucson, Arizona, learning to perform traditional Mexican music while developing broad-ranging musical taste prior to moving to Texas. She recorded six albums with Sisters Morales, the beloved sibling duo in which she partnered with Roberta, who passed away from cancer in August 2021.
NUEVO
Austin 360 - Nuevo, self-titled (Nine Mile). Austin’s David Jimenez and Nashville’s Dante Schwebel both grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, where they soaked in sounds from both sides of the border. Their self-described “Tejano soul” is in full bloom on this joyously multicultural eight-song debut, which features songs sung in both English and Spanish. The album was recorded at Nashville engineer Jeremy Ferguson’s home studio, but most of the band is based in Austin: Joining Jimenez and Schwebel are guitarist Andrew Trube and keyboardist Anthony Ferrell, well-known as the duo behind soulful local outfit the Greyhounds, and drummer Nico Leophonte. Much like Spanish Gold, a one-off project that found Schwebel collaborating with Black Pumas guitarist Adrian Quesada and My Morning Jacket drummer Patrick Hallahan, Nuevo is a thoroughly enjoyable collaboration that brings out the best in cross-pollinization of regional cultures. As Jimenez puts it in press materials that accompanied the album, “Tejano culture is who Dante and I are: not American, not Mexican, not Texan, but all three. We’re simply incorporating all of those elements into what we do.” Here’s the track “No Mi De Quenta”:
