	Los Lobos: Five Decades of Genre-Defying Music- A Benefit For The Grand Center For Arts & Culture Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 7 PM For ticket assistance, please contact the State Street Theater Box Office at (507)-359-9990 Monday-Friday from 9 AM-12 PM. “One of the hottest live acts on the planet” – BBC We are proud to announce that we will be welcoming Los Lobos to New Ulm this October 25th for a concert to benefit The Grand Center for Arts & Culture! The concert will be held at State Street Theater. As always, members will have the first chance to purchase tickets beginning June 26th. It’s a matter of time. Fifty years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. They’ve also recorded seventeen studio albums, seven live LPs, three compilations, two EPs, two DVDs, and contributed over forty guest appearances on their friends’ recordings. They have garnered five Grammys, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction and the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award. But beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others, working for peace and justice. Further, they’ve penned some of the most literate and important music of their time. They transform the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. The young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul, R&B, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues, jazz, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots. Quite simply, they are one of the tightest, one of the best, one of the most prolific bands ever. And, amazingly, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Jr., Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, Steve Berlin.” Opening for Los Lobos will be Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound from Milwaukee.
