Los Lonely Boys are a group from San Angelo, Texas playing a style of Tex-Mex rock, with elements of blues, soul, country and Tejano. The band consists of three brothers: Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza. They have followed the tradition of their father, Ringo Garza Sr., who also was in a band made up of his brothers called The Falcones, which played conjunto music in southern Texas during the 1970s and 1980s.

Henry, Jojo, Ringo sang backup for their father during his solo career, even before they were teenagers. Moving to Nashville in the 1990s, the sons emerged as a group separate from their father's career, and, after moving back to Texas, recorded their debut album in 2003 in Austin at Willie Nelson's Pedernales recording studio. The album was acquired by Epic Records for distribution in March 2004.

Their single "Heaven" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The group also won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2005. Los Lonely Boys are spokespersons for Pepsi, and frequently tour, sometimes with Willie Nelson.
