A guy I met in Los Angeles this past weekend introduced me to Joan as Police Woman (born Joan Wasser). She’s a trained violin player, and incorporates that instrument into an indie setting. More intriguing is her voice: not strained or forced and never setting out to steal the spotlight. It’s somehow complementary to the music but still stands out.
Her bio is impressive, and her work includes an opening slot for Rufus Wainright in Europe this past spring. She also was a violinist/vocalist for the Dambuilders.
Find three songs here off her solo EP, available at CD Baby.
sounds cool, i’ll have to check her music out when i get home. plus she’s hot.
yes, she was also a ‘close friend’ of jeff buckley’s. some would say ‘love interest.’
