The Last Bandoleros


The Last Bandoleros are a Tex-Mex, pop-rock band formed by Jerry Fuentes, Derek James, and Diego and Emilio Navaira IV, sons of the late Tejano musician, Emilio Navaira. The band formed in 2014 as the result of a writing session all four members were a part of while each was working on his own project, though Emilio didn't officially join the band until late 2016. They were signed to Warner Music Nashville in 2016.
Members Jerry Fuentes, Emilio Navaira IV, and Diego Navaira were born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and Derek James is from New York. Fuentes met James when he moved from San Antonio to New York a few years prior to the forming of the band. Fuentes met the Navaira brothers on a trip home to San Antonio and introduced the brothers to James shortly after. Following those introductions, the four men began performing live together after a writing session that went particularly well.
The band cite numerous influences, primarily The Beatles, rock and roll, Tex-Mex, britpop, and country blues.
They made their late-night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on July 18, 2016, performing "Where Do You Go?" and "I Don't Want To Know."
They share a management company with Sting, and as a result, they joined him on his 57th & 9th Tour in 2017 along with Joe Sumner. They are also featured on the track Next To You on the album 57th & 9th as well as on the tour DVD.
