Joanne Rand-Local Legend In Concert

Touring nationally for over twenty years, appearing with Bonnie Raitt, Bob Weir, John Hartford, etc., Joanne Rand recently earned a degree in Music Composition and released her tenth indie CD, Snake Oil and Hummingbirds. Here Avant Garde Appalachian traditionals mix with originals, sung in Rand's inimitable style.

Writing and playing music since her childhood in the Deep South, Rand cut her performance teeth playing bluegrass in Alaska and later spun musical magic with natives in the heart of the Amazon. She fully launched her career in the North Bay Area of California, where she remains revered as one of the region's finest independent artists. A North Bay Bohemian readers' poll voted her "Best Acoustic Band," and this year called Rand a "legendarylongtime local hero."

During the 1990's Rand moved to Seattle where she helped to anchor the city's thriving music scene, collaborating with her late brother, Jordan Rand. She is now in Arcata, CA raising her young daughter, teaching, composing, and touring with her band, The Rhythm of the Open Hearts.
