On Friday, May 2, 2025 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Lojo Russo.

Lojo Russo’s been making music along the “Big Muddy” for most of her life. 

From her days in the Twin Cities playing in jam, Celtic, blues, and folk-rock bands to her current home in the Quad Cities as a solo touring artist she’s been laying down her own free-spirited blend of Rhythm & Roots to audiences all over the country.

To look at her history it’s no wonder Russo likes to keep the music flowing along wherever it takes her. Russo’s musical style is as varied and unexpected as the river she calls home. One moment she’s laying down a furious rhythm on the guitar punctuated with a wailing vocal and the next we’re floating along carried by intricate fingerpicking, her voice as intense and haunting as her lyrics. Performing is her passion and the road is a long, strange, wonderful trip full of promise and adventure. Whether playing festivals or front steps, coffee houses or concert halls Lojo Russo connects with her audience in a way few performers can.

If you can’t join us in person, you can still tune in virtually to catch the show!  To make your donation to Lojo HERE or for more information visit www.twowaystreet.org.
