Joanna Connor has mastered the electric guitar. Whether she is sliding her fingers across the strings like a speeding train or stretching the notes out, Joanna holds your attention. When you add in her voice she is simply awesome. She plays from the heart, which makes her music real and vital.

Both blues fans and music critics alike love her dynamic style of play. As one newspaper in Boston noted “She brings a high energy rock and roll flavor to the blues with a desire to move the music forward” Her CD “Slidetime”, displays her maturity as a songwriter, with all 11 tunes written by Connor. This CD combines her excellent guitar playing with her best vocals ever. There is no doubt, Joanna has earned her place as one of the brightest stars of the new blues generation.
