 In a world where pre-programmed keyboard patches, stock digital samplers and now AI-generated melodies threaten to dominate the musical landscape, the people have been calling out for a transformational figure who can usher in a new age of truly organic, soulful music. Guitar hero Lance Lopez is ready to answer that call! 

A veteran of the Texas blues music scene that birthed not only the great Steve Ray Vaughan but also legendary southern rockers ZZ Top, Lopez has earned numerous accolades over the course of his 20+ year career from the likes of such foundational guitar figures as Jeff Beck, B.B. King and Johnny Winter, and even counts ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons as a mentor. Today, Lopez is ready to unleash his most passionate and visceral album to date, an album that could very well spark the kind of musical revolution we\u2019ve all been waiting for!

Trouble Is Good<\/em>, set for release July 14, is Lopez\u2019s first new album in over 5 years, and from the very first notes, it\u2019s clear that Lopez has not only been hard at work honing his musical and songwriting chops, he\u2019s also been moving toward a more southern rock sound than on previous outings. Just check out the album\u2019s first single, the jubilant \u201cJam With Me.\u201d 

Based on a fiery, ZZ Top-inspired riff, \u201cJam With Me\u201d is a classic mid-tempo rocker, with its familiar \u201clet\u2019s get the band together\u201d vibe that takes on enormous significance in light of the quarantine, both physical and spiritual, the world has been under these recent years. The song\u2019s theme of collaboration is embedded in the song\u2019s origins as well, having been written by Lopez\u2019s new songwriting partner and Trouble\u2019s producer Joey Sykes, and featuring a guest performance from superstar drummer Gregg Bissonette.

And don\u2019t miss the accompanying music video for \u201cJam With Me\u201d where Lopez and his gang of cohorts revel in the simple act of being in the presence of one other and celebrating the magic of a live performance, something that was so easy to take for granted in a pre-pandemic world.

“I’m really excited about the new single, ‘Jam With Me.’ Greg Bissonette has been one of my favorite drummers going back to the David Lee Roth days. The song really captures the emotions I was feeling throughout Covid on to the end of lock-down. And during that dark time, we made this incredible album and I’m very proud of every song on it. If you like big guitars and loud rock and roll, welcome to TROUBLE IS GOOD.\u201d<\/em>
