Chicago magazine hailed her as the most exciting new talent on the blues scene. The Chicago Sun-Times called her a powerhouse guitarist with a sense of rock dynamics - her playing has a fire that is free of self-indulgence. Joanna Connor and her searing slide guitar work have been raising eyebrows of blues aficionados and critics everywhere ever since. As the Boston Globe noted, She brings a revved-up rock flavor to the blues with a desire to move the music forward, not just embalm it. Her latest Blind Pig CD, Slidetime, displays her maturity as a songwriter, with all 11 tunes being penned by Connor. This recording also features her trademark gritty guitar work and strongest, most impassioned vocals to date. Born in Brooklyn on August 31, 1962, Joanna was raised in Worcester, Massachusetts from the age of four. Enamored of her mother’s Taj Mahal and Jimi Hendrix albums as a child, Joanna received her first guitar at age seven and sang with various Worcester groups while still in high school.
