RENO is the bedroom project of Chicago multi-instrumentalist and recording artist, Logan Reno. Pushing the limits of lo-fi music production, RENO blends grunge instrumentations with Woody Guthrie sensibilities and scratchy blues aesthetics, bringing the down-and-out angst of the Great Depression blues and the 90s grunge scene back for a new generation.

RENO’s debut album, Leaving South Dakota was recorded entirely on a TASCAM Portastudio cassette in Logan’s living room.
