== History ==  The Lonesome Six  are a multi-genre band from Houston Texas formed in 2023. Sharing a common love for music and specifically rock from the 60s and 70s era they endeavored to create a new kind of band that would release songs that span multiple genres including country, folk, rock, bluegrass, singer songwriter and the blues. The founding members include Kirk Clove, guitar and vocals, Ron Leal, guitar and vocals, Norman Chapa, guitar and vocals, Nate Henze, bass and vocals, Tonya Lauraine, vocals and Jon Wechter on drums. The band receives support from its label Next Path Music and sound engineer/multi-instrumentalist, Tom Meugniot.

The band began as a casual group gathering to play cover tunes and quickly evolved its focus to the release of original music. Seeing themselves as storytellers within a musical medium they began to formulate musical tales of both fictional and non-fictional characters through time. Most of their songs span well over the time commonly associated with commercial releases but feature a complete story rather than just a catchy chorus. Their first release I'm Coming Home was recorded in Kirk Clove's home in Texas and mixed in The Next Path Studios in California by Tom Meugniot. The song was penned by Kirk Clove and featured Ron Leal on lead vocals and guitar, Kirk on guitar and backing vocals, Nate Henze and Tonya Lauraine on backing vocals and featured Tom Meugniot on bass and drums. The song will be featured on their debut album, American Anthology due out in early 2024.

The band has made their music available on most major streaming platforms.
