Vocal performance workshop for HAT Co with singer-songwriter, Joy Ike, on Saturday, May 14 @ 1:30 pm. Joy will perform a few songs of her own for you, give you some feedback and assistance on your songs, and work with you specifically on how to connect the words to the music — and convey the meaning and emotion to the audience. Check out her website so you know a bit more about her and her music before tomorrow.
“In a world saturated with singer-songwriters, Joy Ike stands out in the same way as Corinne Bailey Rae or Ingrid Michaelson. On her new release, Ike’s tapped into something special that pulls on your emotions when you listen to her sing away about finding God or fitting in. Her stellar backing band floats alongside her honey voice. Her thoughtful playing is comparable to Sarah McLachlan or Sara Bareilles. Joy Ike has got a one-up on most of her songwriter peers because not only is she brave enough to say what she’s saying, she has the chops and the skills to say it gracefully.” -Cindy Howes (WYEP Morning Mix Host & Producer)
