Lohio
Lohio’s music shifts between intimate, instrumentally rich folk songs and midwestern infused, Neil Young-esque indie rock. Singer/songwriter Greg Dutton’s hushed vocals and the bands knack for tackling a range of genre’s draws comparisons to artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Yo La Tengo, and Wilco. We’re proud to host them live in our studios.
