About the artist: The project evolved from Tina Schlieske’s Lola and the B-Sides, a cornerstone of the Minnesota blues scene. Tina’s extensive career is recognized with Jus’ Blues Music Award honors, including the Willie Mitchell Lifetime Artist Award (2021) and Contemporary/Traditional Blues Artist Female (2011). She also earned BluesCritics’ Best New Female Artist (2007). Lola and The Red Family Band continues that legacy with a lineup that honors traditional blues while pushing into roots rock and Americana territory.
Discography highlights: The group’s catalog includes Have Yourself A Red Little Christmas (2015), a self-released project via Bandcamp that showcases their holiday repertoire alongside their blues-infused originals. The Bandcamp page reflects Americana and roots rock influences that fans of the genre will recognize. For fans exploring the full spectrum of Lola’s work, Tina Schlieske’s broader body of work remains a meaningful touchstone.
