About Me



“A powerhouse voice out of Rhode Island.” Acoustic Live, NY City & Beyond.Joanne Lurgio, singer/songwriter, will grab your attention with some of her 'big sound' songs and then absolutely captivate you with her 'softer sound' songs. A talented songwriter, combined with her gifted voice and wonderful guitar work - you really don't want to miss the opportunity to listen to this extraordinary performer.“If, even for a moment, I can make you laugh, cry, think, remember or just forget the troubles of your day, then I have succeeded.” Joanne LurgioVoted BEST SINGER-SONGWRITER, 2007 Motif Magazine Music Awards. In 2006, nominated for Best Local Folk Act & Best Female Vocalist. Joanne’s debut CD, Find a Dream…catch it if you dare, was voted Best CD. “If you slipped this CD into the bin at any major store, you would be hard pressed to differentiate it from any of the other stuff-you may actually find it superior. Joanne has a voice that is original and powerful.” Motif Magazine. ***************************

Awards to be announced May 11th. www.vmassociates.com/motifmusicawards09.htm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH “Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The right road for one is the wrong road for another. The journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a rocky path through the wilderness.”(M. Scott Peck) We each have our own pathways to develop both personally and spiritually. They are based on our character and past experiences. No one else can identify our paths for us. Tune in to your inner guidance system and follow its direction. (Joseph M. Dodge)
