Distance Walk is a Denver-based indie folk quartet. Their self-titled debut EP is out now on Recessive Goth Records. Their sound is equal parts folk, post punk, old time, and baroque. When asked to describe their sound, the band (half) jokingly calls it Bootgaze. 

The band features Olivia Shaw (Avenhart) on fiddle, Niki Tredinnick (The Dollhouse Thieves) on vocals, clarinets, and percussion, high school English teacher Yoni Fine on guitar, and Barry Osborne on vocals and clawhammer banjo. 

Friends before they played music together, the band came together in 2019 for a one off show at Swallow Hill Music. It went so well they kept it going and their sound rapidly evolved into something immersive and visceral.

On March 7, 2020 the band played Mutiny Information Cafe and the enthusiastic and intrigued response from the audience confirmed they were onto something. A week later Denver shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions, but the band kept collaborating. By June they had five songs to take into the studio, which they recorded over the summer at The Mousetrap Recording Studio in Denver.

The result is Distance Walk, their self-titled debut EP.

Fresh out of hibernation! New tunes and many years of home recordings culled & uploaded for your listening amusement! Crunchy nuggets and full tasty casseroles all baked to varying degrees of doneness!

Antonio Lopez is a quiet man with something to say. His music is like an onion, each layer revealing more. His adept guitar work and composition skills are never used in a showy way but rather like the spices in a home-cooked meal. The result is a feast of emotions that delight the listener.
Here We Are, the new album by Antonio Lopez, explores the intimate connection between our hopes, dreams, and fears. Here We Are is an alluring collection of songs written by an artist wrestling with his ego as he chases success and slow dances with failure. Through the lens of his indigenous Chicano roots, Lopez speaks many truths with gentle precision. Rather than tell the listener what to feel or think, Lopez invites you to see yourself reflected in the lyrical stories created by his music. Here We Are officially releases on Friday, November 3rd, and will be available for streaming on all major platforms and purchase on CD and vinyl through www.antoniolopezmusic.com.
