Monday Feb 22, 2010
Due to nasty weather, Lojo's last MTL appearance never happened, so we're excited to finally try it again! Her band history reflects her style of music--a little bit of everything. From psychedelic jam bands to Celtic and every kind of funk, folk, jazz, and jam combination you can imagine. Through it all she combines her sense of music with her sense of humor - sometimes outrageous, sometimes intense, always original. www.lojorusso.com
