About Me

From a tradition of music rooted in heritage and home, honesty and hurt, sorrow and sunsets, emerge Lost Immigrants.

They are country music. They are rock.
They are saints. They are sinners.
They are idiots, and they are fools.
They are Texas Music.

The Lost Immigrants formed in fall 2004 with the birth of small collection of songs and an Americana music project. That collaboration led to weekly rehearsals, monthly gigs and frequent trips down Texas highways.

"The Immigrants joined together on a journey... a journey that, without knowing, would take them through nearly every stage of life and places in between. And somewhere along they way, they lost themselves."

This is their story.
These are their songs.

Praise for Lost Immigrants and their debut album, "Waiting on Judgment Day":

One of my albums of the year. ... This has some of the most wonderful guitar playing I've heard all year, never overstated but matching perfectly the catchy melodic songs, with some great vocals and harmonies. Gets better and better with every play. --Roger Proud (Remedyman)

With a sound heavy on electric guitar, light on Dobro and fiddle (also on drawl, yodels and references to cattle, cheatin' and George Jones), Lost Immigrants take their place, with their debut disc, on the New Texas landscape. It's a sound typified by Charlie Robison and Jack Ingram. But where Robison seems at home singing about throwing a few back and finding oneself at the wrong address when necessary, Lost Immigrants tend more toward yearning, hopeful songs about love and life choices. -- Don Armstrong, CountryStandardTime.com

Lâ€™album comunque gode di una grande forza espressiva e di una coesione degna di band molto piÃ¹ note e rodate e conferma la validitÃ di una proposta che raccomando caldamente. -- Remo Ricaldone, LoneStarTime.com

The album bears repeated listening...their songs have got those great hooks that bring you back for more. -- Cybermusic.com
Record Label: Shiner Records (Palo Duro Records)
Type of Label: Indie
