Joanne Louise Griffiths known to fans as Jolo or sometimes JLG, has been beyond the mainstream music radar since she began writing songs and performing on the Liverpool music scene back in the late 80's! A hidden treasure especially if you enjoy feelgood soulful tunes with thought provoking lyrics and positive vibes, Jolo is the songwriter for you!

Jolo' s sound is relaxing, she has a distinctive smooth voice and has been compared to the likes of Karen Carpenter and Joni Mitchell. 

The Ep ‘JOLO’ has many influences from the world of blues, reggae and dreamy folk.

 ‘Lake of Wishes’ is an otherworldly track about manifesting dreams..

 ‘When You say Goodbye’ is a lamenting bluesy number with ethereal arrangements.

Both songs and 'The Aramaic Prayer' were beautifully co-produced by successful music industry professional Cameron L. Warren.      

Jolo' s 2008 album ‘The Here & Now’ smartlink: https://ditto.fm/the-here-now originally released under the project name of ‘The Jetsuns’ and produced by JLG, was described as an ‘oasis of calm and healing. Lovely.’ by Keith Ames from The Musicians Union magazine.  /reviews
