About Laura Joy

As you can see, Laura writes songs. Sometimes she even plays them in public.

Phoenix-native singer-songwriter Laura Joy moved to Manhattan in early January '06 and has since joined forces with other struggling musicians. Her unique finger picking technique, combined with her warm, comforting voice has been known to quell dark, angry bars full of ornery old Irishmen. (extended bio...)

Laura is currently booking a series of shows with singer-songwriter Taylor Giacoma.

Silence Your Heart	May 3 2008 10:55 PM Hey Laura Joy, You wrote "What a heartbreaking little number zero is..." That's quite the word-play for so few words--I'm impressed. I can come up with 3 ways this can be taken, so I guess double-entendre isn't even appropriate. Thanks for your comment--and for being smart. Take care, SYH
Troy Wise	May 3 2008 11:45 AM You're so sweet Laura, Thank you. Maybe we could make plans to meet at the Goldhawk in the near future. Cheers, Troy

Taylor Giacoma	Apr 17 2008 7:26 PM Poke. I am such a wretched woman for not getting back to you sooner - your message on Saturday night - I feel like I'm a chicken with all THREE heads cut off. How are you? How are things?
Silence Your Heart	Apr 10 2008 9:11 PM Do you remember that time we almost connected, in a human way? Like one person to another, instead of one person to a machine?

James Frederick	Feb 14 2008 10:31 PM Laura, Thanks for the super-nice comment. Having a CD (even if it's only an EP of home recordings) feels like an accomplishment of some sort. And, actually selling one -- HELLO! Coolness. Anyways, when are you going to be up this way (Albany, Saratoga, etc) again?
