The BoDeans and Los Lonely Boys Coming To Plymouth

Plymouth, New Hampshire - At 7:30 on Friday, October 3rd, The Flying Monkey welcomes The BoDeans to its stage for the first time.  Known for their distinctly original roots-rock and the smash hit ‘Closer to Free.’  Then on Saturday, October 4th, Los Lonely Boys make their debut on the Monkey stage.

These Grammy winners are known for their bluesy rock n’ roll fused with Latino soul.  Tickets start at $34.

“I've always thought of the BoDeans as a truly American band," says Kurt Neumann, the founder and front man of the veteran Milwaukee-based group. "We were blue-collar kids straight out of the heartland-how could we be anything else? 'Roots rock' was a label I fought when I was younger, but I came to realize that if by 'roots' you meant blues, rock, country and soul all slammed together into one sound, then I'd say yes-that is the sound of American-made music."  

Thanks to Neumann's renewed passion and determination, the BoDeans are still going strong long
after their debut album led them to win a Rolling Stone readers' poll as "Best New American Band," and nearly 20 years after their "Closer to Free" became a massive hit. BoDeans continue to tour the U.S. year-round, performing heartfelt, trend-free, American-made music.


Los Lonely Boys: Henry, JoJo and Ringo, the Garza brothers from San Angelo, grew up playing music with their father and had a massive hit their first time out of the gate with "Heaven," a soulful ballad crystallizing their "Texican rock and roll" sound. Although the Garzas never quite reached such lofty chart heights on their subsequent releases, their power-trio structure recalled past greats like Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and of course Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, so they quickly won a loyal following among guitar geeks with a taste for Texas blues, a sizable fan base they retain to this day (especially in the Southwest). At the same time, playing up their Latin roots placed them as natural heirs to the Santana/Los Lobos tradition.

“We are excited to bring two bands of this caliber to Plymouth on the same weekend,” says Seth McNally of The Flying Monkey. “The BoDeans have produced so many great rock songs that have become standards…and Los Lonely Boys have such a powerful live show.  We are looking forward to an exciting weekend of all American rock music.”

Tickets for The BoDeans are $34 and $39.   Tickets for Los Lonely Boys are $49 and $59.   For tickets and more information on concerts and the Flying Monkey Performance Center, visit www.flyingmonkeynh.com or call 603-536-2551.
