The Brotherhood Tour makes a stop in Butte County.

The multi-platinum and multi-Grammy winning group has released 21 albums and numerous singles. The Grammy-winning Los Lonely Boys is a trio of brothers hailing from Texas. They bring their Texican rock ‘n’ roll that combines Texas blues, brown-eyed soul, country and Tejano music. Expect to hear cuts from their latest album, Resurrection. Together, these two bands will put power in the house. Tickets: start at $65.62. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.
