Made up of equal parts soul, folk and blues, JoAnna James is a
gifted singer/songwriter from St. Paul, Minnesota whose live
performances leave her audiences longing for more. The way she
wails would make Motown proud. Her delicate phrasings would have
made Nina Simone grin. Her heartfelt performances would elicit a
knowing wink from Bonnie Raitt. JoAnna's songs come alive through
her soulful voice and dynamic guitar playing. While commanding an
array of instruments, including acoustic and electric guitars,
harmonica, piano, and violin, JoAnna effortlessly blends musical
styles to create a complete experience for her listeners. Though
only in her early 20's, her live performances and recordings
reveal a woman who is at once wise beyond her years and filled
with the passion of youth. On her latest release, JoAnna explores
the complex shades of desire: the raw and unshakable reds that
possess the soul; the warm and honest greens of watching a friend
awaken to realize her unique and powerful beauty; and finally, the
deep and timeless blues that lead back to one's maker. The
powerful recordings are soulful expressions of honest emotions,
brought to life with the help of co-producer Chris Koza and
recording mastermind Tom Herbers. Working at Herbers' Third Ear
Recording Studio, and with the help of some of the best musicians
in the Twin Cities today (including Charlie Parr, Jessy Greene,
Peter J. Sands, Alicia Wiley and bandmates Zac Selissen and Ben
Foote), JoAnna James has captured the sound of a raw talent
blossoming into surefooted maturity.
