Joy Alive
Joy Alive! is the fusion of Terry Garthwaite (lead vocals, guitar, djembe), from The Joy of Cooking folk-rock group. Barbara Borden, (drums, percussion, back-up vocals) and Susanne DiVincenzo, (bass, cello & back-up vocals) were members of the jazz group Alive! Both Alive! and The Joy of Cooking were seminal bands from the 60s through the 80s.
Spreading joy through music, heart to heart, is key to the members of Joy Alive! Youll hear a variety of Terrys original songs, most of which are uplifting. Those that venture into darker areas are surrounded by positive edges.
