Lou Oswald is from Dubuque, IA. He not only performs music, but he is also a marathon runner. Oswald has been performing with his guitar and harmonica for more than
40 years. His hobby began as strumming his way through college, but it has now turned
in to fundraising for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
As a St. Jude Hero, he will be running 26.2 miles through downtown Chicago, IL, on Sunday, October 12. It will be his 40th full marathon and his 15th consecutive race registration in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
His music captures the energy and commitment he has for life, hope, and the belief that we can accomplish anything if we listen to others along the way and always “finish strong.”
The night at the Windmill Cultural Center will combine country, rock, a few songs from
the 1950, and a lot of songs that many will remember from the past. Lou Oswald is currently writing a book on the importance of poetry, rhythm, and Haiku.
