Recognized for her exceptional guitar skills and powerful songwriting, Joanne’s journey, which began at the age of 16 when discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, has seen her garner accolades from music icons like Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox. Following the success of albums like Reckless Heart, The Blues Album, and Nobody’s Fool, Joanne’s Heavy Soul is poised to be another landmark in her illustrious career.

Heavy Soul emerges from Joanne’s creative vision of bridging the gap between her previous album Nobody’s Fool and her blues origins. “For me, it was about connecting the dots from ‘Nobody’s Fool’ back into the blues,” comments Joanne. “It’s a mix of contemporary soul-pop and roots music.” The album features an array of accomplished studio musicians, including Anton Fig, Alison Presswood, and Rob McNelley blending their unique talents to create an unforgettable musical experience.
