Lance Lopez is a Texas-based blues-rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. His overdriven, hard-grooving playing style readily reflects the influence of the late 20th century Texas blues tradition. His gravelly singing voice is underscored by power and authority. A professional by age 14, Lopez spent six months touring with Johnnie Taylor and three with Lucky Peterson. At 19 he joined the Buddy Miles Express. He signed with Rochester, New York independent Grooveyard Records and released the acclaimed Wall of Soul in 2004, followed by the much funkier Simplify Your Vision in 2006. 2007 saw Higher Ground and Live. 2010's more roots R&B-oriented Salvation from Sundown appeared from Germany's MIG, as did 2011's Handmade Music. Lopez joined Supersonic Blues Machine and cut two albums with them. He issued his own Live in N.Y.C. in 2016. Tell The Truth appeared in 2018 and Trouble Is Good followed in 2023.
