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. The result is a feast of emotions that delight the listener. Here We Are, the new album by Antonio Lopez, explores the intimate connection between our hopes, dreams, and fears. Through the lens of his indigenous Chicano roots, Lopez speaks many truths with gentle precision. Rather than tell the listener what to feel or think, Lopez invites you to see yourself reflected in the lyrical stories created by his music. 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.

Joining Antonio is longtime collaborator Jonathan Sadler. Being a multi-instrumentalist, Jonathan employs the tools that best fit the job at hand, though he specializes now in Tabla and Marimba. Growing up in a family of musicians, pursuing music was written in the stars for Jonathan.
