   About Joanna Burns

What’s so great about this music? Joanna, as a musician, doesn’t necessarily want to rock her audience, though she wouldn’t be adverse to this idea of rocking, she wants to move them... and groove them where necessary. And she wants them to come away remembering something that felt like it was written about them personally.

That’s the Joanna difference.

She was raised around music, singing harmonies in her mother’s station wagon for as far back as she can remember. Though much of her relationship with music was developed through hours of sitting in her room with her keyboard figuring out film scores and pop songs, she finally gave in and went with traditional schooling to learn the rest.

Now when you look at this pale, white girl, you may not initially think, "That girl must have soul!" But we feel like a few seconds later, you may change your mind, and think, "Wait a minute, yes she does." Citing influences from Aretha Franklin and Mariah Carey to Rufus Wainwright and Fiona Apple, she has concocted a delicious mixture of style, satisfying all of those interests.

Hey Joanna...!!! :) Sorry I missed tonight... couldn't manage this one... How did it go!??!? I'll try to catch you on the 21st...

Oh, and btw, I've entered a twelve-step program to help wean me off of my "Where Your Song Is Sung" addiction. ;) Can't-STOP-Playing! In all seriousness, I just love it... I can't wait to hear the final version.

Thanks Joanna! It was awesome meeting you. I still feel like I have seen you play a while ago. By any chance, did you open up for The Format at the internet cafe? It was a long time ago though..I'm guessing maybe 4 or 5 years back! Well if not, it was someone that sure reminded me of ya. Anyways, keep rockin. See you again soon at the shows.
