Antonio, 18, Caleb, 14, and Joshua, 12, will perform at Gruene Hall from 3 to 5 May, including Cinco de Mayo, after their release from ICE detention in Texas.
The brothers, previously detained with their parents by ICE in February, gained national attention after winning a state mariachi competition and being recognized in Congress. Their detention sparked bipartisan calls for release.
The family, asylum seekers from Mexico, attended court check-ins before being detained. Musgraves, a Grammy-winning Texas native, invited the trio to join her tour following their release amid widespread public support.
