Bio
The Joys perform with unparalleled energy, amazing stage presence and raw emotion. Fans are left with an unforgettable musical experience, during which listeners become aware that they are witnessing some of the best talent in Canada and that they are in the presence of future stars. Their recorded material is full of musical skill, strength and lyrical honesty and consistently exceeds the listener's expectations. This four-piece rock band, hailing from London, ON, consists of Sarah Smith's emotion-filled vocals, Brad Derby's electrifying guitar riffs, Ken Ross's steady grooves on bass and Kevin Komatsu's rhythmic skill on drums. With their latest and 4th release "Adventure's In..." The Joys have currently sold more than 15000 cd's from the stage, online and at retail outlets, a testament to their toe tapping, head bobbing, soul-searching compositions. The Joys have had the distinction of being called "Band of the People" and "The hardest working band in Canada". The Joys play more than 200 shows per year across Canada and the US, and have shared the stage with artists such as Sam Roberts, Robert Plant, Matthew Good, K-OS, Finger Eleven, The Trews, David Wilcox, Colin James, 54-40, Kim Mitchell and the Arkells, among many others. The Joys have achieved such milestones as reaching certified GOLD status, charting nationally at College Radio (2009 & 2010), winning "Best Rock Act" at the 2010 Jack Richardson Music Awards and licensing several songs to feature films, television programs and commercials. -
