Coco Love Alcorn sings Joyful Soul; a sparkling alloy of jazz, soul and contemporary folk. Her voice is hailed as 'extraordinary' (Vancouver Province), 'beautiful' (Canadian Musician) and 'stunning' (Star Phoenix). As a performer she is always in the moment; playful and witty, joyful and genuine, soulful and compelling.
Some sweet career highlights have been; a US tour opening for Ani DiFranco, a longstanding touring and recording relationship with 54.40 and multiple song placements on popular American TV shows such as The Dead Zone (usa Network) and The L Word (Showtime). The long list of artists Coco has worked with include Burton Cummings, Chantal Kreviazuk, Valdy, Gonzales, Jesse Cooke & Loudon Wainwright III.
Coco has crisscrossed Canada numerous times in her own right and played many music festivals including Vancouver Folk Festival, Lilith Fair, Atlantic Jazz Festival and Stanfest. She has five albums under her own name and two electronica side projects. The past two years have been the busiest to date, with over 200 live performances and the launching of her own clothing line.
"Joyful" will be released on April 14th, 2009 with Sound of Pop Records, distributed in Canada through Fontana North (Universal Music Canada). Featuring new fan favourites "Compassion", "Intellectual Boys", and "I Got A Bicycle", Coco's Joyful Soul resonates throughout.

I can't believe I missed your CD Release at the Hugh's Room!!!! How did it go? The Hugh's Room is down the street from where I live! I would have gone to see you perform for sure! Let me know when you're playing again in Toronto. All my best, Cara Matthew
Oh and one more thing! When I saw that you were heading out to Calgary and BC I told my friends that way about your music and for them to go take a listen :)
A friend sent me this in an email last summer (while I was on tour, so I've been slow to get to it):
"This woman Coco Love Alcorn played the Halifax Jazz Festival this year. The First song on her myspace "Intellectual Boys" is awesome. Made me think of 'Stop! Coagulate and Glisten.' I though you must here this. By the way 'shake ya Caboose' if F*&%#*g awesome!" If you're ever in Ottawa... I'll have to come out to check you out!
Coco, WHOA! You sound absolutely in TOP FORM on Stranger...really, really terrific! Looking forward to your June appearance in Toronto! Cheers, stay well, and keep on making tremendous music!
Heyy! I'm not sure if you remember me, but we met at the show in Thunder Bay last night.. my name's Megan, we met at the door and I bought the stripey "nerdy & flirty" shirt. :] Just wanted to let you know that you're fabulous as always, and your show was amazing! <3
