Los Lobos

Yes, Los Lobos comes to Utah pretty regularly, and has done so for much of the band’s near-40-year career. But how often does the “little band from East L.A.” play for free? Hardly ever. Musically speaking, though, no price is too high for seeing these pioneering Mexican-American rockers do their thing, whether they are playing a crowd-pleasing set of hits and covers, or an all-acoustic set of traditional Mexican tunes. Singer/songwriter David Hidalgo is a true guitar god, regularly recruited by the likes of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and others to spice up their own music with scorching guitar parts and unparalleled harmony vocals. For this free gig celebrating spring, expect a heavy dose of songs designed to get the crowd dancing. And if you’ve never seen these guys, a free gig in the sunny outdoors seems a fine introduction. Abraxas opens the show. On Sunday, catch John Popper and the Duskray Troubadors at the same time. The Canyons Resort Village, 4000 Canyons Resort Dr., 3 p.m., free
