Chicano roots rock giants Los Lobos are heading to Arizona this weekend, but if you guessed they were set to play a show in Phoenix or Tucson, you were wrong.
They will be in Bisbee at the historic Warren Ball Park, home of the Bisbee Black Sox, which along with the Tucson Saguaros plays in the Arizona Territories Vintage Baseball League using 1860 baseball rules.
The Los Angeles-based Los Lobos, which regularly plays Tucson’s Rialto Theatre and a handful of venues in the Phoenix area, is doing a benefit show in Southern Arizona’s picturesque and quirky old mining town on Saturday, Oct. 2.
It will be the multi-Grammy winners first show in Bisbee and it’s part of the band’s more intimate 2021 tour of smaller venues to promote its new album “Native Sons.” The tour will hit small theaters — some as small as 200 seats — through early November.
