Sweet Joyce Ann is a dynamic performer who has been singing since childhood. After visiting Washington Square in New York City to hear the folksingers she begged her dad to buy her a guitar. He did, and she learned to play a few chords. At the age of 14 the family moved to California where wrote her first song (“God’s World”) while on retreat in the Cuyamaca mountains.
As a teenager she shared her songs at the Candy Company in La Mesa, where a weekly “Hoot Night” was hosted by (soon to become) song writing legend, Jack Tempchin. She also sang at San Diego State's Backdoor, and The Heritage in Mission Beach. She continues to evolve as a singer songwriter and is grateful to all who take the time to listen.
