Take a drive through the winding back roads of the South Texas Hill Country with Los Texicanos! It’s Tex-Mex, Roadhouse, Honky Tonk, Texas Swing, Blues and more!

It’s been a goodly number of years since guitarist/singer Drew Townson moved to Boston from Dallas Texas, but you can still hear that BBQ-smoked Texas tone in his playing. While living there, he soaked up the music of the Lone Star State. With Boston’s Los Texicanos, Drew has built a Tejano-styled conjunto made up of veteran players, all with a strong background in Americana, Country, Blues, Southern Rock and Instrumental. The guitar duo of Drew and “The Reverend” Al Harper always wows the crowd with their dual harmony guitar solos, ala Allmans and Outlaws. The band’s set list includes a nice mixture of twangified originals and uncommon covers. Even when the band plays a classic song, they give it their own Texican taste. In their short history, Los Texicanos have already played many respected venues, including a gig at House of Blues in-front of 1600 people (opening for Texas country-rocker Pat Green). It`s a Texafied Twang Thang!!!!
