Los Lobos, anyone?

The boys who popularized Tejano music in the 80s with their hit "La Bamba," paving the way for groups like Los Lonely Boys, are coming to Lowell in a couple of weeks to kick off the Lowell Summer Music Series. I had the chance to chat briefly with keyboard and horn player Steve Berlin recently and that conversation is the subject of this week's column in The Sun.

I found it interesting that they are going to be doing double-shot concerts this winter where they will play kids songs during the day (from their forthcoming Disney album) and their songs at night in the same city, presumably at the same venue.

It's also interesting that they don't really rehearse anymore. I guess having played together for 30-plus years gives you some leeway.
