Join us on Sunday, September 6 at 3:00–5:00 PM for a live solo set by Dylan Loza at Smash’d!

A San Antonio original, Dylan Loza picked up the guitar at 14 and never really put it down.

The result is what he calls Soul Rock: a sound that’s easy to love and hard to forget. He even made it to the Hollywood rounds on Season 11 of American Idol, though San Antonio has been lucky enough to keep him close. His sets have the natural energy of someone who plays because he loves it, and it shows in every song.
