J.E. Lopez is a Filipino-Canadian guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter known for bringing his brand of blues into the room with urgency, feel, and command.

Fronting his power trio alongside bassist Marius Charlemagne and drummer Nicholas Otway, his live sets blend blues-rock edge, classic soul warmth, and modern R&B groove, driven by soulful vocals, expressive guitar work, and a rhythm section that stays locked all night. The result is a night that’s as electrifying as it is intimate, with a sound that simmers with tension and melts into soul.

Ideal for music lovers, couples, and night-owls who appreciate musicianship, emotion, and a bit of edge. If you’re into blues, soul, R&B, or live bands that blur genres and stretch out late into the night, this one’s for you.
