About the Artist
One Girl. One Guitar. One Helluva Good time. Lojo Russo is described as a songwriter with "a lot of lyrical power", a guitarist with "powerful playing" and a singer with "one hell of a voice". With raw energy she moves from sweet folk to roots rock without missing a beat. On stage she combines her sense of music with a sense of humor - sometimes outrageous, sometimes intense, always original. Her musical roots began in Minneapolis but her roots music follows the mighty Misissippi where she now makes her home in Iowa.Achievements
