Joy Sumberg October 4, 2008

Joy Sumbergs magic has been described as her resonant reminiscence of life stages, touching on romance, as well as interpersonal levels. Her sultry timbre is easy as an afternoon rowboat ride. Though she began singing early in life, it wasnt until the late nineties that she began to hone her songwriting and performing skills as a street musician in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA.

It was on this proving ground that she first began to share her lyrics and melodies crafted with an extreme personal honesty surrounded by simple acoustic chords. Those early days of singing in the brilliant summer sun solidified her love of beautiful melodies that resonate down the red brick walkways and echo off the historic buildings creating an enchanting music box.

Today, Joy continues to create deeply personal songs about love, friendship,
beauty, and sometimes unfiltered anger. Her live solo performances layer a
teasing humor that contrasts with the intensely personal nature of her
songs. The combination creates an intimate evening of folky, rocky,
soulful music with a hint of mountain flavor and the welcomed touch of laughter.

Born and raised in Northfield, Massachusetts Joy now lives in Cambridge MA, but continues to head to the western part of the state to share music and art with friends.

Past collaborations include recording projects with progressive rock band, Plank, lead-singer of Boston-based rock band, Buzzstar, and lead-singer and original song contributor to the North Shore folk/blues band, Neptune Bay.

Joy will be performing during the art opening.
