Powerful, Exotic, Enticing, Rich, Quixotic, Moving, Exciting
These are words that evoke images, thoughts, and emotions. All of these words have been used to describe the music of Lojo Russo. Says the St. Paul Pioneer Press, “Lojo blends alternative, folk, jazz, and Celtic styles into a lush pattern of sound”. In addition, The Pulse of the Twin Cities, “One hell of a voice...a lot of lyrical power”.
On Friday, April 20th, OPALGA and the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation cosponsor a performance by this unusual musician, featuring, and songs from her very recent CD, Stoic Abandon as well as from the rest of her varied repertoire. With this latest CD, Lojo desires us to take a chance – to think outside the musical box and believe that words stoic and abandon are not opposites, but merely reflections of themselves, of life. It’s the balance of soft/loud, rock/folk, stoic/abandon that makes this album adventurous. Lojo makes it human.
Come be with this extraordinary artist Friday, April 20th, 7:00 P.M. at the Buzz Café, 904 south Lombard in Oak Park.
