“She’s a one-woman show that shows you only need one woman”.
Lojo Russo has been making music along the ‘Big Muddy’ for most of her life. Born in California she likes to keep the river to her East and currently calls the Quad Cities (IA) home – performing mostly as a solo touring artist. But, most of her childhood and early adult years were spent in and around the Twin Cities (MN) music scene.
Self-taught on guitar and voice Russo spent her formative years in different bands in the Twin Cities (MN) playing guitar, bass and mandolin in all sots of folk, funk, jazz, jam, Irish and indie bands. The range of genres gave her a broader understanding of the music she played and a deeper understanding of the music she wanted to create. Those early years earned Russo a nomination for a “Mammy” (MN Music Award) for “Best Folk Artist” and the title of “Best Female Artist” from MN Women’s Press.
To look at her history it’s no wonder Russo likes to keep the music flowing along wherever it takes her. Russo’s musical style is as varied and unexpected as the river she calls home. One moment she’s laying down a furious rhythm on the guitar punctuated with a wailing vocal the next we’re floating along carried by intricate finger-picking, her voice as intense and haunting as her lyrics.
Performing is her passion and the road is a long, strange, wonderful trip full of promise and adventure. Whether playing festivals or front steps, coffee houses or concert halls Lojo Russo connects with her audience in a way few performers can.

Unplug, unwind, and immerse yourself in the soothing world of nature and honeybees.
Experience the calming effects as you relax among the gentle hum of the buzzing friends for a blissful hour of “you time”. Your adventure begins with an introduction from the beekeeper, who will share the incredible benefits of being in nature and among bees. Did you know that bees buzz in the key of C, a sound proven to promote relaxation and reduce stress? (Of course, we make no medical claims here – just the wisdom of nature at work!)
Then, suit up into a protective beekeeping suit and step into the serene apiary, where bright yellow Adirondack chairs await you. Sit back, breathe in the fresh country air, and simply BE among the bees. Observe their fascinating work as they go in and out of the hive, listen to their soothing buzz, and if you’d like, record their sounds to take a piece of the experience home with you. With the provided smartphone-friendly gloves, you can easily capture photos and videos of this one-of-a-kind moment.
Afterward, continue your journey inside with an exclusive honey tasting at the Honey Bar. Sample up to 20 varieties of honey from around the world, each with its own unique flavor and story.
Escape the noise, embrace the buzz, and savor the sweetness of nature.
Limited spots available. Register in advance online at drycreekbeekeeping.com. Welcome to anyone ages 6 . $35 per person

The Guthries are an American Roots Duo that create music peppered with influences such as rock, folk, country, and blues. They are multi-instrumental, playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, and light percussion. Expect the unexpected from these folks. They might easily swing from a latin rock beat right into a bluegrass ditty and then follow it up with some blues. There is never a dull moment with these two behind the microphones!

July 2025 Songwriters Showcase shares the original music of regional singer songwriter Megan Bee
Bee writes with an unquenchable wanderlust and a deep love for the land. Her music is a blend of distinctly homespun vocals, acoustic simplicity, yearning soulfulness, and winsome storytelling. She bases in the rolling hills of Athens, Ohio and draws influence from the collision of Appalachian folk and modern songwriting. Learn more at https://meganbeemusic.com/
The Showcase will be held outdoors, weather permitting. Otherwise held in the performance space at the Galena Center for the Arts. Refreshments will be available. This event is free and open to the public, donations are warmly appreciated and help support future programming.

Event Details
Unplug, unwind, and immerse yourself in the soothing world of nature and honeybees.
Experience the calming effects as you relax among the gentle hum of the buzzing friends for a blissful hour of “you time”. Your adventure begins with an introduction from the beekeeper, who will share the incredible benefits of being in nature and among bees. Did you know that bees buzz in the key of C, a sound proven to promote relaxation and reduce stress? (Of course, we make no medical claims here – just the wisdom of nature at work!)
Then, suit up into a protective beekeeping suit and step into the serene apiary, where bright yellow Adirondack chairs await you. Sit back, breathe in the fresh country air, and simply BE among the bees. Observe their fascinating work as they go in and out of the hive, listen to their soothing buzz, and if you’d like, record their sounds to take a piece of the experience home with you. With the provided smartphone-friendly gloves, you can easily capture photos and videos of this one-of-a-kind moment.
Afterward, continue your journey inside with an exclusive honey tasting at the Honey Bar. Sample up to 20 varieties of honey from around the world, each with its own unique flavor and story.
Escape the noise, embrace the buzz, and savor the sweetness of nature.
Limited spots available. Register in advance online at drycreekbeekeeping.com. Welcome to anyone ages 6 . $35 per person

Enjoy mysteries of an ancient art. As presented by critically acclaimed magician P.T. Murphy. The setting for this evening of illusion is P.T. Murphy’s private theatre located at 204 Hill St., just 39 steps West of Hill and Main St. in the heart of historic downtown Galena, IL. Built in the 1840’s 204 Hill St. is the perfect location to experience the magic of Galena, up close and right before your very eyes!
P.T. Murphy believes in magic. It’s his job. He will entertain, mystify and inspire you to believe! P.T. is known for his personable style, mischievous sense of humor and sophisticated sleight of hand that the Chicago Reader called “An evening that shows magic to its best advantage, up close and personal!”

Event Details
The Guthries are an American Roots Duo that create music peppered with influences such as rock, folk, country, and blues. They are multi-instrumental, playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, and light percussion. Expect the unexpected from these folks. They might easily swing from a latin rock beat right into a bluegrass ditty and then follow it up with some blues. There is never a dull moment with these two behind the microphones!
