Shaun Lopez
Shaun Michael Lopez is an American music producer, composer, and musician. Life and career Lopez is a founding member and guitarist for post-hardcore band Far (band), Far. After a number of local releases, including their first demo tape, ''Sweat A River, Live No Lies'', and two independent albums ''Listening Game'' and ''Quick (album), Quick'', they signed to Epic Records, Epic/Immortal Records and released their major label debut, ''Tin Cans With Strings To You''. Their second major label LP, ''Water & Solutions'', was released in 1998. Thanks to the single, "Mother Mary", they attracted a large cult following.
