Chris Lozano Band - MEET THE BAND

CHRIS LOZANO

LABEL 22 RECORDING ARTIST

Hailing from Colorado's Western Slope, Chris Lozano is a powerhouse independent artist whose country-rock sound is forged in grit, small-town values, and raw authenticity. Before commanding stages, Lozano served for 15 years as a United States Marine Corps Infantry Staff Sergeant—a background that drives the intense discipline and heavy-hitting energy of his live performances.

Fronting an elite, high-energy outfit, Lozano delivers an unapologetic blend of driving guitars and authentic storytelling. His 13-year performance career includes opening for country legends like Toby Keith, Clay Walker, and Shenandoah, alongside securing premier Las Vegas residencies at venues like Ole Red on the Strip. Lozano's high-octane show is also a staple at elite Western sports events, including the PBR World Finals and the National Finals Rodeo (NFR). Now signed to Nashville’s Label 22, he is currently tracking new music at the historic RCA Studio C with four-time Grammy-nominated producer Eddie Gore, dropping chart-bound singles that honor his roots and the timeless spirit of American country rock.
