About Joanna Wildfire Leigh

MyGen Profile Generator

"Pure magic..I really love the way your songs tell a story..moving, technically interesting, engaging.." - Paul Kavanagh, author

Revealing yet empowered, Joanna Leigh seeks to inspire the listener to follow their dreams and make a difference. Her passionate voice, infectious tunes and vivid stories will wash emotional waves over you and remain in your heart and mind long after she has left the stage.

Her blend of urban folk-rock and soul-baring ballads with a socially conscious edge has captivated revelers at Newtown Festival, the Gaygames and HOWLfest Festival of Womens Music as well as intimate venues like Sandringham Hotel, Salar Couch Cafe and Club Acoustica.

Regular performances have given Joanna Leigh the opportunity to share the stage with The Stiff Gins, Diana Ah Naid, Penelope Swales, the bluehouse, Women in Docs, Ember Swift (Canada) and SONiA (USA).

"I'm glad there are people who can express the human condition so wonderfully!!."- guest book entry

Joanna has written over 25 original songs, including Hope, which was created for The Flotillas of Hope a civilian convoy of boats that took gifts to the refugees imprisoned in Nauru, to highlight their plight and express solidarity. The instigator of the ambitious journey Stavros Georgopoulos asked Joanna to compose the theme song and offered her the opportunity to sail under the stars on the initial leg between the bon voyage rallies in Sydney and Newcastle.

A number of songs from her debut Ep Castaway received airplay on the ABC and community radio. The title track was recognised as a standout entry in the Adult Contemporary section of the ABC Newcastle Music Awards.

An avid support of independent women's music, Joanna has been involed in organising events such as HOWLfest Newcastle's Festival of Women's Music (http://www.angelfire.com/oz/howlfest/) and SoulSirens the acoustic event at Sheila Fest in 2006(http://www.cat.org.au/sheila/)

She is currently organising OutSkirts at the Sandringham Hotel. (htttp://www.myspace.com/outskirtsevents)

2005 brought Joanna Leigh from her home town of Newcastle to Sydney to hone her musical craft and reach out to new audiences. She is currently studying at the Australian Institute of Music and recruiting partners in crime to help her spread the creative musical abundance around.

Stavros	Dec 31 2008 4:03 AM Hi ya Joanna Thought I'd let you know that I just started a blog called Journeys and Star Gazing. One of the journeys I'm highlighting is the Flotillas of Hope with a special mention of your beautiful theme song for the Flotillas "Hope". I will also write about the star gazing aspect of the journey - the astrology. So, check it out and please let your friends know about it. Here's the link http://dodona777. wordpress. com/ Thanks again for your beautiful song, it encapsulates everything the Flotillas of Hope attempted and in many ways achieved all those 4 years ago. Have a great New Year. stavros
