[4] Americana Music Show wrote that Lopez's lyrics and delivery have "the earnestness and wide-open view of the world that we haven't seen since the early days of Paul Simon.

[14] From Onward, the track "Will I See You Again" received over 1 million Spotify streams,[2] and the song "Leaving It Out" remained in the CMT Pure Country "12 Pack Countdown" for a number of consecutive weeks.

Additionally, he has been invited to perform at 2015's Music Hall Of Fame Induction ceremony as well as the band's inaugural appearance at Mountain Stage.

[16] On September 22, 2017, Lopez released his second album entitled, Red Arrow, this time using producer Marshall Altman, known for his work with Marc Broussard and Frankie Ballard.

Organic sounds are favored over electronics, while Lopez's versatile guitar playing provides a millennial take on everything from Eighties rock to timeless folk.

Sly, generation-bridging vocals are the common thread, and as interest in Americana rises, Lopez could connect the dots for many young listeners.

[3] Among the 2017 tour dates, and just before the release of Red Arrow in September 2017, Lopez joined 300 acts on the bill of AmericanaFest in Nashville,[17] once again receiving a "Best Things We Saw" title from Rolling Stone Country.
