Featured in TIR Episode 326 (Part 2 of 2): Texas-based blues-rock guitar slinger, singer and multi-instrumentalist Lance Lopez. Inspired by giants like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Billy Gibbons and Johnny Winter, he’s released nine albums since his 1998 debut – including 2023’s fantastic Trouble Is Good, which was named one of FUNKNSTUFF’s Top 10 Rock & Blues Albums of the Year. 
Though he might not be a household name, Lopez’s gritty tone and fretboard agility are prominent in an incendiary, emotive playing style that places him among today’s best hard-edged, blues-rooted guitarists. He also talks about his surprisingly close friendship with superstar Prince.
Having shared stages with the likes of Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, ZZ Top and Joe Bonamassa, he has also worked with Supersonic Blues Machine, Eric Gales and Buddy Miles. Speaking of which, coming up on March 1st, he is among the performers at For the Love of Buddy Miles Tribute Concert in Dearborn, Mich.
