Live Music: Antonio Lopez (Lee Hill)

Come to Upslope Lee Hill for small town, big soul songwriter, Antonio Lopez!

Artist Bio:

With influences as vast and wide as the San Luis Valley from where he originates, Antonio Lopez is a new artist to watch on the Colorado music scene. Nashville based recording artist Tyler James describes Antonio’s music as “raw and beautiful…two traits any young songwriter should strive for.” Garnering comparison to artists such as Amos Lee and Ryan Adams with his earthy-modern-folk, Antonio is currently working on his sophomore project Cloud 9000. The Project consists of three EP’s, each being recorded in a different locale with a different producer and set of musicians; Alamosa, CO where he grew up, Minneapolis, MN where he recorded his debut album, and on the Front Range where he now resides. “I wanted to include each of the musical communities that have a special place in my heart on Cloud 9000, plus I’m too nice to choose one group of friends over another to do the record with!” Cloud 9000 Vol. 1: The Minneapolis EP was released on Tuesday, March 25th. Antonio Lopez’s emerging career is starting to take flight. His tune Simple Life is the theme song for the Morning show on KRZA radio and he has opened for Sarah Siskind who has written songs recorded by Grammy winners Bon Iver and Allison Krauss.
