Motown legend Martha Reeves summed it up perfectly, describing Joanna Cooke as “the baby girl singing the blues". Joanna, much like her South West blonde counterpart Joss Stone, she demonstrates that true soul and emotional connection is not simply constrained by colour or creed. Moreover, her self-penned songs leave a lasting impression on audiences, by dint of their raw honesty and song craft.

Drive and talent combined with her contemporary sound blending Soul, Jazz & Blues now sees Joanna performing Festivals and notable venues around the UK and supporting big name artists such as Tom Jones, Rag N Bone Man, Martha Reeves, Paloma Faith & Mamas Gun.

and we're super stoked to have Joanna with us at the Stannary...
