Keep an eye out for this talented trio, as they continue to create music that pushes boundaries and sets them apart as innovators in the indie world. 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. His songwriting is lyric-forward folk, with marimba swells and swooning Spanish guitar flourishes on top of a rock-solid rhythm section. The result is a feast of emotions that delight the listener. Antonio and his band are currently releasing two songs at a time as "doubles." It's a tongue-in-cheek way of releasing music as the music business has shifted. The trend is for musicians to release singles more frequently to feed the algorithm rather than full-length albums every few years. Calling them doubles harkens back to when singles had an A and B side because they were on a physical record. The new material is engineered by Christopher Wright of Work it Bird Studios in Longmont, CO. Antonio Lopez is a Colorado native of indigenous descent. Born and raised in Alamosa and now residing in Longmont, he grew up steeped in the Chicanx culture of southern Colorado. https://www.antoniolopezmusic.com/ [https://www.antoniolopezmusic.com/] After a long run of shows across Colorado’s front range in 2021 and 2022, Christopher Morse is set to release his new EP, Covering Old Scars, on February 17th. Blending elements of folk, country, and mellow indie/pop, Christopher Morse’s music has evolved into a rich soundscape that listeners can really sink their teeth into. At the young age of 10, Morse became a literal choir boy after auditioning for the American Boychoir School (ABS). With ABS, he toured the country, sang with the New York Philharmonic, and performed at Carnegie Hall - all while taking classes on the tour bus. While on the road, he saw Colorado for the first time, but never expected to make the move out West. After the boychoir, Morse discovered John Mayer’s Room For Squares, which led to him picking up a guitar for the first time. Before long he was writing songs to share with friends and family and started playing in local coffee shops. He gradually expanded his reach to playing in larger venues from Washington DC to New York City. During that time, Morse graced the stages of many legendary venues including The Tin Angel in Philadelphia and Rockwood Music Hall in NYC. Exploring themes of isolation and nostalgia, Christopher created the Escape EP in 2021. A long string of shows followed the release of Escape, including opening for Tony Lucca in May of 2022. Morse continues to connect with audiences across Colorado through his passionate and heartfelt performances. Keep an eye out for him in 2023 as he brings the songs from Covering Old Scars to life. https://christophermorsemusic.com/ [https://christophermorsemusic.com/] NEW! 2 new Premium Pods: Reserved comfortable seating for a group of 6 people.
