An enchanted journey through Ireland's magical past with an award-winning harper, singer and storyteller, who uses Neo-Celtic harp, wire-strung harp, and her soaring, crystal soprano voice to create an enchanting, unique experience for her audiences.
Bio / Background
Joanna Mell is an award-winning harper, singer and storyteller, whose life work is recreating the bardic arts of ancient Ireland.
She possesses a beautiful, soaring soprano voice, which she uses to transport her listeners to the enchanted Celtic Isles.
She sings in both the ballad and Sean Nos styles.
She has won numerous first-place awards in Gaelic singing contests and feises on the East Coast, including second place in Sean Nos singing in the regional All-Ireland competition in New York.
Joanna is also an accomplished harper, being classically trained on concert harp, and also having studied the traditional Celtic harps (Neo-Celtic and wire-strung).
Joanna became interested in the ancient bardic tradition of telling stories to harp accompaniment after reading accounts of the ancient Irish harpers.
She now uses her voice not only to sing but to weave the spoken word with the entrancing sounds of the harp to produce a unique experience for her listeners.
