As a brass band musician he played with: Henry Allen, Excelsior, Olympia, Onward, Tuxedo Brass Band.

He was the son of Lorenzo Tio sr. and nephew of Luis Tio.16

Lorenzo Tio Jr. played clarinet with the band- his father emigrated from Mexico in the late 1900s and became active with various groups of the pre-jazz era.
Lorenzo Tio Jr. was one of the most celebrated New Orleans reedmen of all time, and his students included virtually every great New Orleans clarinetist, including Jimmie Noone, Johnny Dodds, Albert Nicholas, Barney Bigard, Omer Simeon, Louis Cottrell Jr, Emile Barnes, Albert Burbank and Harold Dejan. He wrote a tune, "Dreamy Blues," which was reportedly used a theme by the Piron Orchestra in the 1920s- later it surfaced as "Mood Indigo," with composer credit to Barney Bigard and Duke Ellington.i1

He worked with the Onward Brass band in 1910 and in 1913 with Celestin's Original Tuxedo Orchestra.
He went to Chicago with Manuel Perez, 1915-1916 and was back with Celestin in 1917-18. In 1918 he started playing with A.J. Piron Orchestra with whom he made his only recordings.16
