Antonio Lopez

Antonio Lopez is a quiet man with something to say. His music is like an onion, each layer revealing more. His adept guitar work and composition skills are never used in a showy way but rather like the spices in a home-cooked meal. The result is a feast of emotions that delights the listener. His sound is modern folk rock with marimba swells and swooning finger-style guitar. Through the lens of his indigenous Chicano roots, Lopez speaks many truths with gentle precision. Rather than tell the listener what to feel or think, Lopez invites you to see yourself reflected in the lyrical stories created by the music. He holds degrees in guitar performance and music composition from Adams State University. Antonio Lopez is a Colorado native from Alamosa and now resides in Longmont.   Joining Antonio is longtime collaborator Jonathan Sadler. Being a multi-instrumentalist, Jonathan employs the tools that best fit the job at hand, though he specializes now in Tabla and Marimba. Growing up in a family of musicians, pursuing music was written in the stars for Jonathan.  ----- Lid Dixon and the guys are back at the Neighbor— turning the volume down just enough that you can still hear your own witty remarks.
