“Chicano Soul” comes to Threadgill’s June 29
Larry Lange & His Lonely Knights will host several of the 1960s Chicano soul legends that have inspired them at a special show at Threadgill’s South location. Among the guests are Rudy Tee from Rudy and the Reno Bops, Charlie Alvarado from Charlie & the Jives, Dimas Garza of the Royal Jesters, the Sequins, and Sonny Ace.
Interest in the vintage singers has been stoked by a new book called “Chicano Soul” by Ruben Molina.
Lange and his wife Susie are also organizing a benefit for accordion great Steve “Esteban” Jordan, who is undergoing treatment for cancer.
