NYC-based singer-songwriter Laura Joy has been known to quell dark, angry bars full of ornery old Irishmen.
Drawing comparisons that range from Joni Mitchell to Jenny Lewis, singer-songwriter Laura Joy's percussive finger picking and buoyant voice have graced audiences from as far as the Sun Belt to the streets of Manhattan Island.
Since her first appearance at the Underground Lounge's singer-songwriter open mic in 2006 (which she later went on to host for 3 months), Laura has been featured in the Jezebel Music Songwriter Showcase at Laila Lounge in Brooklyn and was selected to participate in the 2007 Williamsburg Live Singer-Songwriter Competition. She was a regularly featured artist in the 2007 Upper East Side's Singer-Songwriter Collective, and her shows at the American Folk Art Museum resulted in standing room only attendance.
2008 brought about the release of Laura’s CD “Six Flights” as well as membership in NY/NJ Port Authority’s “Tunes in the Terminal” program. She opened on March 1st, 2008 for Nedra Johnson and Staceyann Chin in Brooklyn at the 3rd Annual MichFest Half-way Soiree.
Laura has performed regularly in the Phoenix and Albany areas, NYC, NJ and Boston. She is currently booking for 2009 – 2010.
