Biography

Tejano Sound Band is one of Lansing Michigan’s premier Tejano acts. TSB has a long and rich history. Co- founders Johnny and Richard Vasquez started their careers playing with their brothers “Los Hermanos Vasquez.” Years later when the older Vasquez siblings decided to retire from music, Johnny and Richard, eventually, went on in their own respective bands. In 1994, Johnny asked Richard if he wanted to start their own band like they had before. Richard accepted the invitation at which point they also picked up a partner, brother-in-law, and co-founder Frank Medellin.

TSB recorded their first cd entitled “Ahora” and produced hits like Tu Eres La Mujer and Es Mejor Decir Adios which were featured on Bnet radio and Ben Gonzalez’s Countdown USA. “Yo Te Amare” is the second release from TSB.
