Joanne Lurgio
I am a singer/songwriter. I have been singing and playing the guitar as long as I can remember. I write about love, life and anything else thats sent my way. If even for a moment, I can make you laugh, cry, reflect, remember or just forget the troubles of your day, then I have succeeded as a songwriter.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I spend my time at open mics, coffee houses, local bars, folk festivals.... anywhere there are people to listen. The most special moment was the first time someone requested one of MY songs! "WOW! It Stuck!"
Your musical influences
As a teen, I was an avid Janis Ian fan. I also listened to a lot of Joni Mitchell. I grew to love all styles of music and find I incoporate many different styles into my own music. To my surprise, many folks have compared my style to that of Joan Beaz... Now.. THATS quite a compliment.
