The EP was produced by Dave Cobb (the man behind critically-acclaimed Americana albums like Jason Isbell&#8217;s Southeastern and Sturgill Simpson&#8217;s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music).<\/p>\n<p>Some early press feedback on the EP:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cChristian Lopez and his band are pioneering their own brand of Alt Folk Country Rock.\u201d \u2013 American Songwriter Magazine \/ SongSpace<\/li>\n<li>\u201c\u2026the group makes a spectacular first impression with their \u2018Pilot\u2019 debut EP.

Backed by a group of local pickers, he started touring before he could legally drive and racked up a long list of accomplishments along the way, including stints on the Warped Tour and the Belk-sponsored \u201cModern Southern Music\u201d tour, which found him performing pre-show on bills with Zac Brown Band and Dave Matthews Band. \u00a0The band has been on tour throughout the fall while Lopez continues writing new material for a forthcoming full-length album, set for recording in early December with Cobb once again at the production helm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianlopezband.com\/\">www.christianlopezband.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Christianlopezband\">www.facebook.com\/christianlopezband<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Clopezmusic\">@clopezmusic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 21, 2014 &nbsp; CHRISTIAN LOPEZ BAND WORLD PREMIERES VIDEO \u00a0 FOR \u201cWILL I SEE YOU AGAIN\u201d ON CMT PLATFORMS &nbsp; Americana-rock group Christian Lopez Band is world premiering their video for \u201cWill I See You Again\u201d exclusively on CMT platforms.\u00a0 Starting on Tuesday, October 21st, fans can view the video on &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/christian-lopez-band-world-premieres-video-for-will-i-see-you-again-on-cmt-platforms\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Christian Lopez Band world premieres video for &#8220;Will I See You Again&#8221; on CMT platforms&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-releases"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=959"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":961,"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959\/revisions\/961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/skyemediaonline.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
