Juan Antonio Lopez is a lifelong singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of experience; playing original indie-pop music (released with his band Sofa City Sweetheart), classic 60s-90s pop covers, or a mixture of both. Available for solo gigs, or full band with more advanced notice.
Sounding like a blend between Sufjan Stevens, The Beach Boys, The Shins, and Elliott Smith, Sofa City Sweetheart is a modern-day version of classic melodic pop. Whether backed by a full band, or stripped down and playing solo, Sofa City Sweetheart writes the songs you didn't know you were missing.
