Lola Blu is a rising country singer-songwriter from Rockford, Illinois, known for her striking, raspy voice and magnetic stage presence. Blending country and southern rock with inspiration from Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Whiskey Myers, she delivers songs that dive into love, heartbreak, self-discovery—and the occasional party anthem.
Backed by her powerhouse band—Matt Zito (lead guitar), Tate Medina (rhythm guitar), Logan Taylor (bass), and Will Lewis (drums)—Lola brings a true rock ‘n’ roll energy to every performance. She’s shared the stage with artists like Terri Clark, Trey Lewis, Tanner Usrey, and Mackenzie Carpenter, captivating audiences with her raw emotion and dynamic range.
Lola has earned major recognition, including multiple Josie Music Award nominations and being named 2024 Breakthrough Artist of the Year by the Midwest Country Music Organization. Her singles “Better Believe” and “3” (played on 60+ stations) paved the way for her debut EP, Good Ole Days, released summer 2024.
