   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.

Hey! Thanks for dropping me a line. Things are busy, as always.

How are you?

Thanks for the props on the new track. It's pretty awesome when you finally get the help you need to make a song sound the way it does in your head....

Take care,
Matt

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

You're so sweet Laura, Thank you. Maybe we could make plans to meet at the Goldhawk in the near future.

Cheers,
Troy

Hey Laura,

I have some news songs up.
None of them are about you, so it's safe to listen to them.

I hope things are going ok for you.

Take care,

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?

Do you remember that time we almost connected, in a human way? Like one person to another, instead of one person to a machine?

Hi Laura,
Thanks for messaging back, much appreciated.
You have fantastic songs on here and I liked every single one.
I found you via Alexa Benoit, she has some fabulous songs which I have rated as probably some of the best I have come across on myspace.
So it looks like we are all linked.
Keep the great work up and we will most definitely keep in touch.
Take care.

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?

it was originally feb but made a change to April because of plane tickets, schedules, and the trials and tribulations of real life.

How are you?
