Joanne Louise Parker

“mystical and enchanting” –– “pure, expressive & emotive” –– “a mellifluous honey toned voice that touches the soul” –– “voice that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck” –– “an evocative style delivered with resonant clarity”

Joanne Louise Parker is re-emerging after time away from regular performing. The past year has been spent working on her debut album with Brighton based singer/songwriter producer Max Gilkes.

Originally from the Cambridgeshire Fenland, her musical apprenticeship has ranged from classical through folk and jazz to popular music with a folk roots blues style that observes the spiritual and emotional landscape.

A regular on the open mic scene in both the UK and overseas, Joanne is known for her cappella songs which are used to good effect to silence the room when it’s her turn to sing. Fans say she has a voice which “makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck”.

She has travelled extensively and performed her songs to audiences great and small from the West Coast of the US to as far east as Russia. Joanne’s recent support slot credits include Eliza Carthy, Gretchen Peters, Brian Kennedy and Jane Siberry.

Moontide will be released in the Autumn and will feature orchestrated evolutions of Joanne’s original songs.
