About Me



Askher is singer-songwriter Lori Girard and you can ask her just about anything. Lori writes, records and plays live and she has yet to stick to a genre. Her recorded music is sometimes pop, sometimes, rock . In her live solo show she mixes folk-rolk, old country, classic, soft and hard rock. One thing's for sure, Lori emotionally connects to any song she sings and she's not afraid to say what everyone is thinking...well what some people are thinking.
