Kacey Musgraves<\/a> has tapped a trio of mariachi-playing brothers, who were detained by ICE earlier this year, to open three of her shows in Texas next month.<\/p>\n The G\u00e1mez-Cu\u00e9llar brothers, Antonio, Caleb, and Joshua, will support Musgrave May 3 to May 5 at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas. The gigs are part of Musgraves\u2019 upcoming Middle of Nowhere<\/a> tour, and tickets for the shows go on sale Wednesday, April 29, at 10 a.m. central.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n The brothers, aged 12 to 18, were arrested alongside their parents at a scheduled court check-in in February. The family had fled from cartel members in Mexico and entered the United States through an asylum claim in 2023, putting down fresh roots in McAllen, Texas.<\/p>\n Both Antonio and Caleb are part of Mariachi Oro, the award-winning mariachi band at their high school; and Antonio is recognized as the top mariachi trumpet player in the state of Texas. Youngest sibling Joshua is also a mariachi musician.<\/p>\n The family\u2019s detention sparked widespread outcry in Texas against the Trump administration\u2019s deportation policy. The family was released in early March.<\/p>\n Musgraves announced the line-up news on Instagram, sharing a poster for the upcoming shows. Aside from being a vocal Trump critic, Musgraves recently told NPR<\/a> about wanting to spotlight Tejano music and mariachi musicians on her new album Middle of Nowhere<\/em><\/a>, which arrives May 1.<\/p>\n \u201cIn this modern time that we\u2019re in, I really want to go an extra mile to really show the Mexican culture that I really deeply appreciate it, that I see it, and that it matters.\u201d Musgraves said in March. \u201cUltimately, in ways that I wasn\u2019t even aware of, [has] influenced me as a person, who I am and the music that I make today.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
