About this Event
Rolling Stone says.. "Lopez has landed on a sound that flies straight through multiple eras of rock, pop, and country..” With the will of his voice and the stomp of a steady beat, Christian Lopez is pioneering his own brand of Americana. Like a young Whitman, Lopez translates the iconic America before him into rousing romps and searing serenades employing crisp and thoughtful imagery and storytelling. Born and raised in Martinsburg WV, Lopez recorded his debut album, produced by multi-Grammy winning producer, Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile) when he was just 18. Soon after, being coined one of Rolling Stone’s “New Country Artist you Need To Know.”
In 2017, Lopez released his critically acclaimed sophomore album Red Arrow, featuring appearances by Vince Gill and Kenneth Pattengale of The Milk Carton Kids. Recorded at Nashville’s iconic Blackbird Studio D with producer Marshall Altman, Red Arrow received widespread praise, with American Songwriter calling it “truly electric.” The album further cemented Lopez as a rising star in Americana, garnering him a devoted fan base that continues to grow.
Lopez has also made his mark as a brand ambassador, partnering with Belk’s “Modern Southern Music” showcase, opening shows for acts like Zac Brown, Dave Matthews, and many more. In addition, his partnership with the West Virginia Board of Tourism saw his music featured in national campaigns, further solidifying his status as an ambassador for his home state.
In 2020, Lopez teamed up with Grammy-nominated, producer, Robert Adam Stevenson, marking the beginning of a new creative chapter. His third album, The Other Side, recorded at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, TX led to a European tour including memorable performances across The Netherlands. The Other Side was later picked up by PMD Records for distribution in the Benelux, expanding Lopez’s international fan base. Billboard said, “Christian Lopez welcomed change when it came time to write for his upcoming third studio album, The Other Side. The West Virginia-born singer-songwriter left Nashville for the West Coast to find himself and his sound. He’s all the better for it, too..”
Lopez’s most recent full length album, Magdalena (2023), was recorded in self-seclusion at his ranch home in Magdalena, New Mexico. Co-produced with Stevenson, Lopez took this chance to be unapologetically himself. Forbes said, “filled with love and loss, featuring stripped down songs accompanied by a four-piece band chasing the purest form of the song. Magdalena sounds like a record made in the 1970s, or from the Alt-Americana roots wave of the 2000s.”
Lopez was eventually invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry, where he debuted his latest single “Let It Sink In” from his new self-titled EP, out now!
