Joanna Burns brings to the table a set of hands that were schooled under the influence of Ben Folds and a voice that's waiting for Whitney Houston to need backup singers again.

Up to and following the self-release of her 2008 EP "Music From & Inspired By," she has been wowing audiences in the tri-state area, sharing the stage with Harry Connick Jr, Ingrid Michaelson, Fountains of Wayne, The Click 5, Melissa Ferrick, and more. This past year, she began reaching fans on a wider spectrum, showcasing at both the NACA Mid-Atlantic Festival and Conference, and performing at over 50 colleges and universities throughout New England and into the Mid West.

What exactly can you expect to see at a live show? "I was recently told there is an element of theatricality to my show," she said. "It's definitely something I've been trying to achieve. Raw theatre…just full-out performance."
