Lance Lopez, a Texas blues rock virtuoso, has electrified audiences with his searing guitar work, rooted in the Lone Star State’s rich musical legacy. Born in Shreveport and growing up in New Orleans and Dallas, Lopez was mentored as a teenager by ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, who recognized his prodigious talent early on. Under Gibbons’ guidance, Lopez honed his craft, absorbing influences from Stevie Ray Vaughan and Freddie King. By his late teens, he was sharing stages with legends like B.B. King and Buddy Miles, his soulful solos and commanding tone marking him as a standout.

Having supported acts like ZZ Top and Jeff Beck, the Lance Lopez Band keeps Texas blues alive, with Lopez’s mentorship from Gibbons fueling a career that burns brighter with every riff.
