Joanne Bird is a Dutch singer-songwriter: she creates indie & americana folk music with a touch of jazz. With songs about everyday ups and downs and vulnerabilities poured into stylish arrangements, she takes the audience on a personal and musical journey. In June 2023, she released her debut EP called ‘Sounds of the City’. Shortly after the release, Joanne traveled for five months through all the big music cities of the United States to find inspiration to write new music, record and perform. In Asbury Park, New Jersey, she recorded her new EP 'Railroad Tracks' with a group of established musicians from Nashville, New York & New Jersey, with whom she then toured the Netherlands in March 2024. In August 2024, she will return to the US for her summer tour. At the age of five, Joanne began playing piano, followed by singing and guitar. She further developed herself during her Bachelor at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, and during the Master of Music at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. In addition, she studied several times in New York City. Joanne has received vocal coaching over the years from Lucy Woodward, Jim Mola, Sofie Dirkx, and Marle Thomson, among others.
