Texas, with an East L.A. Edge / Los Lonely Boys for “Heaven” from “Los Lonely Boys”

For as long as they can remember, the three Garza brothers from San Angelo, Texas, have lived and breathed music. Now that they are Los Lonely Boys, they’re putting a name on the many musical styles that influence them.

“It’s Texican,” says Henry Garza, 26, the guitarist frontman for the trio, which features bassist JoJo, 24, and 23-year-old drummer Ringo. But listen closely and you’ll hear a little Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, Ritchie Valens and Jimi Hendrix. It’s rock, pop, blues and country, touched with border culture Tejano and conjunto, the latter style gleaned from their guitarist father, Henry “Ringo” Garza Sr.

As for their look, “We’re kind of cowboy mixed with pachuco,” says Henry, using the Spanish term for Mexican American gang members of the 1930s and ‘40s. Their look “is really cultural. It’s part of our heritage, being Mexican, Indian and American.”

Though the brothers don’t wear the exaggerated zoot suit coats and baggy pants, they’re passionate about their Stacy Adams two-tone fancy dress shoes that are part of the look. Ringo customizes them with a triple sole. He also wears a bandanna everywhere. “Now it’s part of me,” he says. “I wore a white one for my wedding. I don’t think my mother-in-law liked it too much.”

The ‘50s and Valens also influence their style. “Every time we watch that movie ‘La Bamba,’ we love it,” Henry says. “The wardrobe in that flick is awesome.”

As their debut album “Los Lonely Boys” gains rapid recognition, the brothers are starting to reap gifts. An admirer sent three filigree pendant replicas of their logo. A clothing company sent short-sleeve shirts that JoJo wears as a jacket. Henry’s antique Mexican silver belt was a present from Freddy Fletcher, Willie Nelson’s nephew and co-owner of the studio just outside Austin, Texas, where the band recorded its Grammy-nominated “Heaven.”

The brothers still shop at JCPenney, Wal-Mart and Goodwill, where you get the best deals.

Sure, there’s pressure to get fancy, but they resist. “We’re not trying to make fashion statements,” Henry says. “It’s us being who we are for real. It’s three brothers who grew up in a family of musicians who dressed nice.”

HOW TO GET THE LOOK

If the Garza brothers aren’t wearing their custom lizard-skin cowboy boots, they most likely are in shiny two-tone dress shoes they call their Stacys, as part of their homage to pachuco style. Stacy Adams lace-up “Dayton,” $75, at www.stacyadams.com.
