Biography:
Chris Lopez has been playing music most of his life, beginning with classical guitar lessons about age 11. He and friends formed a band in high school, and Chris has since played in and around the San Antonio area as a solo/duo acoustic vocalist, guitarist and was front man for cover bands, ALLEGED and STRING THEORY.
In recent years, he was a contestant in 2004 for the San Antonio ABC Affiliate, KSAT-TV’s, ‘GIMME THE MIKE’ talent show. He was one of 25 selected from over 600 entrants. He was also a ‘TEXAS STAR’ Finalist on the syndicated show, ‘TEXAS COUNTRY REPORTER’ talent search in September 17, 2005 in Waxahachie, TX and has appeared on the San Antonio NBC Affiliate’s local program, THE SAN ANTONIO LIVING SHOW in October of 2005 and on the FOX Morning show in Jan 2007. Chris sang The National Anthem @ The AT&T Center for a Spurs/Lakers game in March 2009 as well.
Although to date, Chris has played mainly ‘cover’ songs; the plan has always been to play music for a living, (which in San Antonio means playing covers), gradually adding original songs to the mix and eventually become an all original working musician. The release of ‘Wake’ in Oct 2006 was the first step in that progression from covers to originals. Expect to see & hear this gradual transition in the months to come.

The release of ‘WAKE’ introduced fans to the songwriting ability and musical prowess and these original songs have found their way into in Chris’ sets. They’ll continue to play the covers that our fans ask for and identify the CLB; including some of the best music from the likes of: John Mayer, 311, alice in chains, audioslave, authority zero, Beatles, blur, bush, cake, candlebox, chris isaak, cracker, days of the new, the doors, eric clapton, everclear, foo fighters, franz ferdinand, green day, jimi hendrix, incubus, led zeppelin, lifehouse, life, local h, matchbox 20, nirvana, oasis, pearl jam, pink floyd, the pixies, radiohead, rage againt the machine, red hot chili peppers, santana, silverchair, smashing pumpkins, staind, stone temple pilots, the strokes, sublime, the toadies, tool, SRV, the wallflowers, weezer, and much more.
Look for the release of a 2nd CD in the summer of 2009 and even more ‘original material included in oiur shows.
