Surrender by Lois Greco

I have no doubt when you hear Lois sing you will agree she is the next great female singer to emerge from the New England circuit much like Bonnie Raitt, Carly Simon & Susan Tedeschi."- John Black- Photographer/ Music Videographer

The riveting stage presence of Lois Greco draws the audience into each performance. A couple of recent highlights of her performance include a dramatic spoken word introduction over the beginning of Bessie Smith's classic "Empty Bed Blues" followed by an incendiary reading of the vintage blues with searing guitar, and a smoldering take on Lazy Lester's "Sugar Coated Love" which also brought the house down. Lois is a very powerful vocalist and really connects with the audience," Wide World Of Blues.-WATD-FM & WSMU-FM blues DJ Paul Wanner

"With the power of Janis Joplin, the fire of Melissa Etheridge and the soul of Aretha Franklin, Lois Greco will seduce and penetrate your heart with pure unleashed passion!" - Newport This Week
