Joanna Connor
The Joanna Connor Band is a familiar attraction at blues nightspots around the world. She has developed a strong following in Europe, South America and Japan as well as here in the USA.  She has released some killer CDs, including her most recent -- Live and Raw #1, Live and Raw #2, 15 Years of Top Hits, and Rock N' Roll Gypsy. Joanna Connor is different from other female blues singers because of her skill on the guitar. She got her first guitar at age seven and at 16 she began singing in bands. She was drawn to the Chicago blues scene early in her career, at the age of 22. She moved to Chicago and soon after her arrival, she began sitting in with Chicago regulars like James Cotton, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy and A.C. Reed. She hooked up with Johnny Littlejohn's group for a short time before being asked by Dion Payton to join his 43rd Street Blues Band. She performed with Payton at the 1987 Chicago Blues Festival. Later that year, she was ready to put her own band together. Connor has blossomed into a gifted blues songwriter. Her songwriting talents, strongly influenced by greats like Luther Allison, will insure that she stays in the blues spotlight for years to come. She is one of the premiere slide guitar players in the business! Artist Websites: joannaconnorband.com myspace.com/joannaconnorband youtube.com/user/joannaconnorband E-mail: KzHarlemBlues@aol.com |
