Album Notes

JoAnn is a 22 year old singer-songwriter from Rochester New York. While her musical style is hard to fit into a single genere, she has been placed in the category of folk-rock and is often compared to such popular music artists as Ani Difranco, Tori Amos, and Joni Mitchell.

Vaccaro has a very distinct guitar style characterized by finger picking and flamenco-like strumming patterns. Her vocal lines range from sultry blues and jazz to rock, with lyrics that ignite out of an intense flare for poetry and ability to speak her mind. She has a style all her own and is true to herself.
