Jerry Lopez credits his deep musical foundation to his upbringing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where his father, Gilberto Lopez, had Jerry and his siblings performing professionally from a very young age. In 1975, the family moved to Las Vegas in a converted school bus, eventually establishing themselves as the "musicians' musicians" of the Strip. Jerry is most renowned as the founder and leader of Santa Fe & The Fat City Horns, a 15-piece powerhouse that has served as a "Monday night" sanctuary for professional players and touring legends for over 20 years.
