About Lo

Loren ‘Lo’ Woods was born in Indiana was a childhood prodigy playing guitar in nightclubs at 15 years of age. Since then he has had a pretty impressive run in the music business, from the dynamic copy bands of the 70s, Champion, Jubal, Black Dog, Phoenix to being featured in Guitar Magazine, opening for Robin Trower to rave reviews and winning a National Billboard Songwriting Contest just to name a few.

Lo has written and recorded well over 150 tunes in a variety of genres including Rock, Blues, Acoustic, Fusion both instrumental and vocal and continues with his passion to this day.

Loren has been compared to guitar greats such as Alan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, Larry “Rhino” Reinhardt, Jan Ackerman, Larry Carlton and (arguably) Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. His songwriting has been compared to Steely Dan, Robin Ford, Todd Rundgren and even Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for his keen attention to the vocal harmonies. Some of his instrumental music has been suggested for movie scores and documentaries.
