Gregory Esparza Performing "The Town I Live In" ... He was lead vocalist with Thee Midniters from 2006 - 2021 and he returned for two incredible shows in 2022. One at Save Mart Center in Fresno CA (Latin Legends concert) and the following evening in Los Angeles for a nice homecoming and tribute to his Pops who had passed away in May. That weekend happened to be Father's Day weekend as well. With this live recording here they are Gregory Esparza and Thee Midniters at The Tropicana in Laughlin Nevada sometime around 2015.
