Bio / Background
Joni Laurence sings, plays guitar and writes songs, not unlike lots of other white girls with guitars. So, what makes her stand out?
The truth is, Joni's music is everything you already love about acoustic music...strong vocals, meaningful lyrics and memorable melodies.Joni's writing style is a unique blend of irony, imagination and introspection. She writes of common occurrences in the human experience, and her songs of love and relationships are distinctively realistic.
Joni experiments with a variety of musical styles including a more traditional folk sound, a blues flare and a rock/pop beat. Her smooth alto voice communicates a continuum of emotion...one minute it's playful and sweet, the next brooding and reflective.

"Such a warm, compelling voice that wraps around a melody. Her lyrics really draw you into the song. I am excited and looking forward to hearing more from Joni in the future." - Darcy Greder, Producer, Blue Moon Coffeehouse, Bloomington, IL
