Jo Gore is a soulful singer, songwriter, and performer whose music blends R&B and gospel. Hailing from Southeastern North Carolina, Jo Gore's voice is rich with emotion, often described as both sanctified and sultry—a voice that can stir the soul and still the room.
Raised in the church and surrounded by music from an early age, Jo honed her vocal talent in choirs before developing her own distinctive sound that honors tradition while defying genre boundaries. Her lyrical themes are deeply rooted in love, rest, justice, and community, particularly as they intersect with Black American life and spirituality.
Her latest single and music video, "Hold You Like My Peace," is a meditation on restoration and collective resilience, gaining attention for its’ visual intimacy, and heartfelt tribute to the sacrifices of caregivers, matriarchs, and unsung community heroes. Jo’s performances—both live and recorded—offer audiences more than music; they offer ministry, memory, and momentary sanctuary.
