“Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter Joyann Parker is sheer joy. Not in a sweet and sentimental way, but with a saucy and sexy growl. And with an intelligent and intriguing style, as well...a lot of heart and a lot of character to go along with the humor and occasional moments of introspection.” - Tom Henry

“a singing, songwriting, guitar-playing, self-producing, self-aware powerhouse, but the driving force is unquestionably her voice — a formidable instrument she wields with soul and taste.”

“a colorful musical tapestry woven by a consummate artist out of the warp and wool of jazz, soul and blues”

“serious singing and musicianship…simmering...She’s got the pipes and comes across honestly and passionately. ... smoldering, slow-burning”

“...Some of the smokiest, smokingest green eyed soul you are going to encounter.”

“Joyann Parker is the best Twin Cities female singer you've never heard...whatever she sings, Parker owns it.”

“Joyann Parker is the real deal...a powerful vocalist, an accomplished musician on both guitar and piano, and the writer of songs that hold up over time. ”
