About Me:: Director of the Rock of Ages ~ Tribute Convention...Rocking and Rolling in Brantford Ontario Canada, August 23rd & August 24th.

Joan is the Grand Poobah and the driving force behind Memphis Motion...A Tribute to Elvis and the 50s & 60s. Rocking across Canada & the United States since 1998.

Joan is known as the Elvis Lady; the big lady with the big voice and the indomitable spirit of goodwill. Originally hitting the spotlight as a dancer and then as an award winning female Elvis Impersonator; Joan has evolved into the effervescent champion of the performing arts and one of Brantford's most well known and popular entertainers.

With more than 25 years of stage experience behind her and an impressively long musical resume; Brantford's Rock and Roll Diva owns the centre spotlight. Whether she's belting out rock and roll or crooning ballads; Joan's powerful pipes, matched with her comical antics on stage and an innate ability to work a room like nobody's business, has allowed Joan the honour of entertaining more than 500,000 people in Canada, the U.S. and the Caribbean.

She has the ability to sing anything: Rock, Disco, Country, Pop, Broadway, Standards, Blues, Jazz - nothing stops her. Joan LIVES to perform, she LOVES to Rock and it shows!!! And not only can this girl sing, she can also dance rings around most girls half her age. While her main love is definitely Rock n Roll, the softer ballads ooze out of Joan with tenderness. She has a repertoire of more than 800 songs.

Joan's tribute forte is in saluting the greatest female icon of them all...Janis Joplin. Fans are always delighted when Joan takes on her award-winning and vocally haunting salute to the Southern Queen. Me and Bobby McGee and Piece of My Heat are amazing.

Joan also pays comic tribute to Bette Midler. Watch out however, when the mood hits her and she unleashes her inner Tina...cuz Proud Mary is her signature song and many have tried but nobody has been able to keep up with her when Rolling On The River hits!!!

The single mother of 15 year old BJ, is definitely one busy lady. Joan's other projects include directing the Rock of Ages Tribute Festival, past director of the Brantford Elvis Festival, Producer of the Rockin' Thru the Ages Showcase, directing the Brantford Cabaret musical theatre group, conducting the Starr Sensations Children's Choir, starring in the Nunsense Musicals and managing her son's rock band; Rough Justice. Joan is a professional vocal coach and has 32 students ages 6-40+. She also teaches dancing and musical theatre classes.

Apart from these, Joan is constantly producing some kind of charitable fundraiser or involved in organizing a major entertainment showcase of goodwill. Just visit the website and see what's coming up, because there's always SOMETHING brewing.

Lead Vocals & Backup Vocals ~ Memphis Motion: Joan sings many 50s, 60s and country hits and sings backup for several Elvii. Joan has sang backup for approximately 400 ETAs and other tribute artists in the last 12 years.

Lead Vocals & Backup Vocals ~ Rockin' Thru the Ages Showcase: Elvis - Led Zeppelin and Every Note In Between. Joan portays Janis in the show.

Lead Vocals & Backup Vocals ~ City Limits: Pop and Country.

*****************************************************************

Joan dedicates ALL of her performances to the memory of her eldest brother John; the WIND beneath her wings.

In Joan's Words "I'm having more fun than one person should be allowed to have".

My favorite tribute artist is...: Anthony Von

The best Tribute Artist show I've ever seen...: Rockin' Thru the Ages from Brantford Ontario. Salutes to Elvis, Buddy Holly, Roy Oribson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, the Stones, Elton John, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, the Band, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. Live show with 9 piece live band...absolutely the best show I've had the pleasure of seeing...bar NONE!!!
