From initial attention grabbing performances at The Great Escape (music industry) Festival and headlining prestigious London clubs like the acclaimed 606 and award winning Hideaway (where she, and they, cut their first ever live album), Jo and her top class band (whose CV's include the likes of Bob Dylan, Jessie J, BB King, Beyonce, Sting, Bowie and more) have been making waves of the 2011 festival circuit, including appearances at Chagstock, Meadowlands and North Devon Festival. Wholly positive reviews and growing airplay internationally, 3 separate BBC Introducing sessions, an increasingly impressive gig roster and prestigious support slots for the likes of Marlena Shaw, Terry Callier and Average White Band (where she supported them three times on their recent UK tour), have only added to Jo's growing reputation as a blues, gospel and soul fuelled singer of exceptional promise.
Having already worked with Grammy Winning and double Grammy nominated producers, Jo is currently recording tracks with a view to releasing a debut studio EP later in the year.
