Actually, it really is my last name...

About Me

As you can see, Laura writes songs. Sometimes she even plays them in public.

Phoenix-native singer-songwriter Laura Joy moved to Manhattan in early January '06 and has since joined forces with other struggling musicians. Her unique finger picking technique, combined with her warm, comforting voice has been known to quell dark, angry bars full of ornery old Irishmen. ( extended bio... )

Laura is also currently booking shows with singer-songwriter Taylor Giacoma.
