Singer/songwriter Brian Lopez has been influential in defining the desert noir sound of the American Southwest over the past two decades. The Arizona-native, often compared to Elliot Smith and Nick Drake, bridges genres from indie and art rock to Americana, psychedelia, folk, cumbia and chamber pop. A classically-trained guitarist, Lopez has toured with many international artists including Calexico, Gaby Moreno, Giant Sand, KT Tunstall, Nouvelle Vague, and Mexican Institute Of Sound, amongst others.

Lopez's recently released fourth solo album TIDAL exudes the famed desert romantic's sweet magnetism and characteristic Southwestern pop psychedelic tendencies. A sweeping sense of majesty, which Lopez has called “the exotic beauty that’s exclusive to the Sonoran Desert – desolate, desperate, yet gorgeous,” is woven into the fabric of TIDAL. The result is a lush, dreamlike collection of songs and guitar-driven storytelling that will take you on a sonic journey to the heart of the American Southwest.
