Joanne Rands voice raises your hair. Elegance and fierceness in the same deep breath. (Gary Snyder). Born and bred in the Deep South, but a longtime Northern Californian, Rand has performed in Manhattan, L.A., Toronto, Atlanta, Seattle, Hawaii, Alaska & the Amazon. A San Francisco North Bay Area readers poll voted her Best Acoustic Band. Rands 2015 CD, "Southern Girl" made a folk DJ most-played-list nationwide and garnered rave reviews. "Rand stretches her folk roots beyond likely destinations, creating consistently fascinating fareOne of the years freshest, most distinctive offerings."-Roots Music Report 2016. "Absolutely captivating ... Startling and beautiful ...Leaves behind all comparisonsRands vocal styling is the whole show and worth the price of admission" -No Depression 2016.
[Rands] songs take you to encounters with the places and people she describes, move you into the experiences and involvements she recounts, expressed through lyrics that ensure their messages stay with you. The musical mix that pours through fuses its folk-rock base with elements of bluegrass and jazz to create a blend with a natural organic feel that reaches out to the listener in close and intimate way. (Folkwords Reviews, UK 2016) Rand sings about still finding magic in a world that may sometimes seem parched. Her songs are a compelling slice-of-life of our human story: The dreams of childhood, War & peace, loyalty & betrayal, passages and rallying, and a funny Anthem to her hometown in Humboldt County, CA. Her Southern roots nourish her sound with an authenticity and backbone that cannot be denied. "Whatever muse inspires Rand only seems to grow stronger with time" - Eugene Weekly. Nothing short of brilliant Santa Rosa, CA Press Democrat.
