Yoshi's is pleased to welcome back David Hidalgo and Louie Perez for another intimate evening of Stories and Songs. Hidalgo and Perez are celebrating the release of The Long Goodbye: Unreleased Songs & Rare Recordings.

These gigs offer a very rare and special duet performance of favorites from their 40 years of collaboration, delivered along with stories about how those songs were born and evolved.

Stripped down and unassuming, this tour offers a retrospective of 40 years of making music from one of the most iconic rock bands of our time. It's an opportunity to look back and remember but more a chance to look forward with anticipation.

It began in high school: David Hidalgo and Louie Pérez became friends and started writing songs after school. Now, 40 years later, the front men of the distinguished East L.A. rock group Los Lobos bring it full circle and treat audiences to a songwriting showcase and acoustic performance.

Pérez has been considering this acoustic outing for years, ever since he heard Steve Earle do a solo showcase at the famed McCabe's Guitar Shop in L.A. The performance was stunning, Pérez recalls, still awed by his memory of the mood Earle created using just his rough-as-tree-bark voice, one wooden guitar and his incredible tunes. The time has come and it will be a show not to miss.
