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 frequent party anthem.
Backed by her powerhouse band—Matt Zito (lead guitar), Tate Medina (rhythm guitar), Logan Taylor (bass), and Will Lewis (drums)—Lola Blu brings a true rock ‘n’ roll energy to every performance. She’s shared the stage with artists like Terri Clark, Trey Lewis, Tanner Usrey, Mackenzie Carpenter, & more, 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, her singles, “Neon Night” & “Redneck Rock n’ Roll” which are both summer country anthems.
Kicking things off is Luke Fox, a modern-day troubadour with a voice full of grit and heart. With guitar, harmonica, and kick drum, he delivers raw, powerful performances that blend folk, country, rock, and Americana. His songs—born of heartache, triumph, and vivid storytelling—move crowds to dance, cry, and remember.
Also opening the night is Iowa’s own Katie & The Honky Tonks, a throwback country powerhouse with a fresh edge. Fronted by Katie Sires—whose voice channels classic twang with fearless charisma—the band has quickly carved out a name for themselves in the Midwest country scene, earning praise for their storytelling, live energy, and vintage spirit. With a new full-length album on the horizon, and a string of major shows under their belt, Katie & The Honky Tonks are ready to light up the stage and get your boots moving.
