Welcome to 2025 all.
Our guest is Oscar Lopez. 2 time Juno winner. 10 albums released.
Nothing usual about the words above, except that for several years Oscar had disappeared! From entertainment, media and life itself.
This interview is his way of explaining how he went from winning two Juno awards and walking onto stages with loving audiences to living in his car on the streets of Calgary.
Through tears, Oscar talks about the dark years he’s been through.
Mental and alcohol battles. Second guessing himself.
Oscar Lopez
With the help of his family members and an overflowing GoFundMe effort, he’s finally found the peace and strength to find a place to call home and return to the stage. Jan 17/18 at La Bodeguita Stereo in Calgary
The complete Oscar Lopez story can be heard on the Mulligan Stew podcast and TerryDavidMulligan YouTube channel.
