With a lineup featuring a powerhouse four-piece horn section, captivating three-part vocal harmonies, mesmerizing lead vocals, masterful accordion play, and a full-throttle rhythm section, we are the embodiment of musical excellence in Tejano.

**The Horn Section:**

Our four-piece horn section breathes life into our music with soulful melodies, creating an irresistible blend of brass and rhythm that's at the core of the Chicano sound. Featuring Xavier Vidal (Trumpet/Vocals), Hector Ramirez (Alto & Tenor Sax/Vocals), and Luke Bartels (Tenor & Bari Sax), the section is led by Grammy Award winning trumpet player and co-founder of the band, John Ontiveros (Trumpet/Vocals). From passionate trumpet solos to groovy saxophone riffs, our horn section is the driving force behind our music's unforgettable energy.

**Vocal Harmonies:**

We take pride in our three-part vocal harmonies, which add depth and emotion to our songs. With each member contributing their unique vocal talents, we create a harmonious blend that elevates our music to new heights, delivering heartfelt lyrics that speak to the soul.

**Lead Vocals:**

Our lead vocals are the heartbeat of LA 45, captivating audiences with powerful and emotionally charged performances. With a voice that resonates with the heart and soul of Chicano/Tejano music, our lead vocalist, Mike Torres III, is the conduit through which our stories come to life.

The accordion, a cornerstone of Tejano music, is wielded with masterful skill by our accordionist, Julian Olivarez. Whether playing lively polkas or soulful boleros, the accordion adds an authentic Tex-Mex flavor to our music, connecting us to our cultural roots.
