The Joanna Connor Story

[@tommyhamilton2107]

THE most underrated talent I’ve ever heard🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ScottDaddyMac]

I remember sharing one of her videos on my Facebook quite a few years back because she was just absolutely killing it on a slide with standard tuning which is NOT easy to do. Now, in 2021, I have heard so much more of her music and she really should be much better known and it looks like she is starting to get the recognition she deserves. She's one of the few guitarists that makes me want to take another step up the ladder in my own playing. Nothing but respect for her and its nice to see she is a really cool person as well.

[@christopherthomas6336]

She has that unbelievable raw talent. Where she just throws her heart out on the floor with every chord

[@stevengarcia877]

Janis Joplin of instruments .....

[@teresaweaver1012]

"We don't know how to market you." 40 yrs ago was the equivalent of "You don't look like Lita Ford or Joan Jett. Great as they are...they don't shred like Joanna, and they ain't got them low down dirty blues either. She's amazing!

[@pecahndasmu]

Joanna is amazing. Her voice .... her guitar sound .... no question about it

[@markjacobsen8335]

Record label execs were complete morons in the 80s.

[@billybigtime2808]

What a sound woman and an amazing guitarist

[@ravenscry048]

Joana, you are your music. When you play you become one with the instrument and the music. When I hear you play, I get chills and MUST dance. thank you. I am so glad you are being recognized more for your music/performance.

[@bayareamotorsport1586]

So glad I found out about Joanna! She's so awesome and this interview makes me like her even more!

[@sotiristsallis]

Joanna i wish you the best...you are really so talented...you worked so hard.....

[@kendallbraziel5621]

My Favorite Artist Playing the Blues Today!

[@lamar1423]

LOVED her since the 80's. Awesome musician! It's about time!

[@gordonjackson8366]

A fabulous musician with an amazing talent.

[@tamiwoods6972]

Never knew of her before. My goodness what an inspiration!!!

[@bigshrek3926]

She plays with such Feeling and you can see thru her playing how much she Loves It!!!

[@mrartistbill]

Her latest album is one of the best I've heard. She not only plays great, but is also a powerful singer. She knows how to pronounce Worcester as well, which means a lot to me.

[@neilleng9188]

Coming from the county of Worcestershire myself, I know where you're coming from.

[@NewbornHarmony]

My truest influence especially being a women who loves playing blues wow! Girls rock!

[@arlenetomkins9208]

Dang… you is good girl. Keeping it real and raw .. the blues with no frills attached 😎🎸✌️

[@dougnasty99]

Hi Joanna, where have you been all my life? I’m glad to have found you, you Rock Sister!

[@larrybrown7273]

The accolades are well deserved Jonanna is still so down to earth I started listening about hearing on NPR 1996

[@joeschmoe8685]

Man! Just straight up, low-down, bad-ass, grass roots, blues from the heart. This lady is an assailant!

[@Jakelyn7133]

She's awesome. I love her agressive style on guitar.

[@kcsvantasticvoyages9729]

I never saw her until today, phenomenal

[@saoirseblue5353]

Joanna Connor is AMAZING!!!. Love her.

[@djmikio]

We live in an age that values appearance to the exclusion of all else. Where talentless bimbos influence millions with generic tiktok dances but it takes a once-in-a-generation talent like Joanna 40 years to catch a break. Going to see her play this week and I couldn't be more psyched!!!

[@mojodojo5533]

Well said, and sadly, absolutely correct.

[@missydavis2708]

Joanna you are a total badass. What I love about you is you are REAL no fluff, AND a phenominal guitar player. As a huge fan of Hendrix, you are at the top of my favorite and most impressive guitarist. Rock on sister.

[@RileyHastings-n9u]

She is a truly great musician and she mentors soooo many young musicians now it's really touching to see. I don't know if the people there just to be entertained realize the enormous impact she is having. Love you Joanna!

[@andieandthebandits]

Seeing her live is unmatched!

[@mp-ov9dh]

if not for the net i would never have found her stuff. i love live music and she just goes for it and its great. glad she is getting recognition even if it did take 40 years!

[@hocuspocus4577]

I just found out about her. I am addicted now

[@danielkovac3618]

Joanna Connor es una de las mejores guitarristas de blues rock del mundo, pero su ascenso al número uno de Billboard Blues no ha sido nada rápido ni fácil. Blues Rock Review profundiza con Connor para descubrir sus inicios en la música, su mudanza a Chicago para lanzar su carrera, cómo las redes sociales han cambiado las reglas del juego y su álbum que definió su carrera "4801 South Indiana Avenue".

[@tattoodude8946]

What an amazing talent and I'm glad she is finally receiving a modicum of the recognition she deserves. And I know this was mainly about the guitar, but her voice - Janis Joplin is looking on her nodding her head with a smile saying, "You got it girl!"

[@jameslonglove]

She is such an impressive player!

[@Colin56ish]

Jo is incredible.

[@RosenildaRochaMoura]

Amo muito.

[@jacquelinekohn2082]

Great story about a wonderfully talented woman.

[@genva4577]

Love this Lady great interview 👍😎💯

[@reemclaughlin4260]

She deserves EVERYTHING!

[@mars56100]

I just found you!!! Wow!, Fantastic!

[@steveclapperton7123]

I saw Joanna at Ralph's Diner in Worcester in the mid 80's. Always wondered what happened to her. Now I know.

[@bebloss1]

Damn yes! One of the best indeed!

[@bluesdawg8014]

She has that aggressive Blues style that I like. I like Joanna, she's real. I've been playing Blues for more than 50 years, very dedicated to the genre. 100% American from the beginning Los Angeles

[@dRBAR]

Wow. What a great story. Now Famous yet still humble. That’s a miracle in the music industry.

[@AndersonKaryn]

… the world needed your too blues and rock… i needed this growing up… at least now we have you ♥️🔥👑

[@citizensarmed4182]

Awesome guitarist and wonderful person.

[@jk8517]

love her!

[@michelejp69]

Awesome 😮

[@Ben-ly2eu]

I was watching her video Walking Blues and enjoying it thoroughly when my wife who does not care for the Blues in the least said, "Wow she is really good". That's what I call, being able to reach across the aisle.

[@JudgeFredd]

Great artist

[@laureldakini9710]

You are thw best !!!!!!!

[@nelson1953]

She's got tons of pure energy.

[@Heinz-v7c]

Hey Joanna do you want to come play in Australia??

[@beehungry6190]

She’s my hero

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

Now COVID is receding, love to see you down under Joanna. Maybe the Byron Bay Blues Fest 2023. You would be a sensation.

[@jcortese3300]

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to the 40-year "overnight success." It's about damn time for this woman.

[@rich19530]

A lovely lady with phenomenal talent.

[@dionst.michael1482]

This lady is badass ❤

[@dilitor]

Put it this way : every one I show her was jaw dropping so hard, it was making a sound. Onya Jezza baby, you deserve all the good coming your way. Now... where can I find your CD...

[@smoothsam7]

She can rock

[@pecahndasmu]

What is her latest album?

[@HansWernerLink]

Are you able to google?

[@pecahndasmu]

@@Sarah-nm1lc Wow.. thank you ... At first song ...I could hear her signature lick and riffs there. So awesome. Thank you again ... I will purchase this album. 😊😊☺☺☺

[@tamburo66]

What nice and talented Lady.... Those guys from those mayor Labels should be sacked on point

[@douggauzy6258]

She definitely has paid her dues . I seen her way back on the East cost playing a mean Slide at an outdoor. Barbecue . I said one word. WOW. !

[@gnawbabygnaw]

Just discovered this beautiful lady. 🤙🤙

[@yuvegotmale]

Joanna is going to go down in music history as one of the top blues players....no doubt about it.....you go girl. And who would be the one tone deaf idiot that disliked this vid????

[@juliadixon8465]

I just found this woman today. She's blown my mind. Hard to say why she's not famous, bc she blows Bonnie Raitt out of the water with one hand.

[@susandevoe6002]

Why do I see you in my mind 7, 8 mos. pregnant & still shredding a guitar??? Go, baby!!

[@jamesbrugaletta9059]

We love Her Music
