♥♥♥Joyce Adams, Acoustic Guitar and Lead Female Vocalist from San Antonio, Texas.
A genuine Texas treasure, truly San Antonio's best kept secret. Joyce has performed all around the world singing along with her acoustic guitar. She was three years in Japan performing her country girl Texas stlye Texas/Tejano music. On one paticular summer afternoon, Joyce was performing at Market Square in San Antonio as a solo act. Julian Fernandez of Los Texas Wranglers heard some singing outside of "Mi Tierra" restaurant so he got up from the table where all Los Texas Wranglers and wifes were having dinner. He followed the sound outside that's when he saw Joyce performing. Julian, stayed to listen to the entire set. Once Joyce was done performing. Julian, stayed to see what she was going to do. Julian was so impressed with her actions and demeaner she had about 40 people in line to meet and greet her. She signed autographs, tee shirts anything people wanted signed. She took pictures with everyone it was like Julian was watching a Patsy Cline movie. After Joyce finished she packed her guitar and was walking off the stage. Julian approached Joyce and complimented her on her performance, he went on to ask her questions like if she new what conjunto music was? Like a true San Antonian she said ohh heck yes Flaco Jimenez is one of my favorite accordionist. So, to make a long story short Joyce was asked to join Los Texas Wranglers. It's now been over 5 years in 2010 that Joyce is a trademark sign with Los Texas Wranglers.
Joyce is County, Joyce is Tejano and Conjunto but most important Joyce is Los Texas Wranglers

♥♥♥Rocio Valdez from Saltillo Coahuila Mexico "La Super Estrella"
with a traditional style of Mexican regional music. On her debut album with Los Texas Wranglers "Lo Tengo Que Olvidar" went as far as getting cataloged in the 2013 Latin Grammy Awards.
♥♥♥Julian L. Fernandez
The heart of the band brings his many styles and techniques to his drumming and percussion. Watching Julian play the drums, moving all four limbs at the same time in different drum patterns, and watching his no effort-type movement is just magic. Julian starts each gig with a new pair of sticks because he often gives them to the youngsters who come watch him perform. Julian's leadership of the band is having all the business aspect taken care of. He brings out the best in all his musicians and expects only the best that they too can give to the audience.
