Joy Clark

Joy Clark is a New Orleans singer-songwriter,  lyrical guitarist and composer who creates soulful original compositions that celebrate peace and the undeniable power of love. Her intricate rhythms and warm melodies reveal a sweet vulnerability that enchants her audiences around the world. Like so many other artists in New Orleans, Joy’s first stage was in church. Growing up the daughter of a minister, she learned to create an atmosphere ripe for an emotional experience. So it’s no wonder she believes music is her ministry and intimacy is her superpower. “I love boots, guitars, mangoes, horses, jasmine blossoms, road trips, cloud watching, donuts and my family. I believe in the power of inner peace. I understand the glory of a righteous twist out. I make time to marvel at the mysteries of the world around me. I pour my fears and anxiety into vectors for healing. Joy’s melodic offerings are a healing balm to an anxious heart. Each song welcomes the close listener in with open arms– always beckoning truth, authenticity and the courage to tell one’s story. The Boot says “Joy’s music is rhythmic like the pull of the tide.” Her single “Good Thing” beautifully captures her craft and depth of her artistry, and musicianship and has garnered radio play along with an official video debut with DittyTv. Joy can has been touring with Allison Russell in her ensemble of phenomenal artists as well as Brandi Carlile and The Indigo Girls. Joy received a Grammy for her work on The Returner album with Allison Russell. The past few years have brought beautiful beginnings for Joy. Joy has toured as lead guitarist with Cyril Neville and Water Seed and shared the stage with Ruthie Foster and Hozier, Brandi Carlile, and so many others. Joy also toured the USA with Madeleine Peyroux in March-May 2024 and will tour with her in Europe in February 2025. She will also be touring thru Texas and the west and northwest USA, with Ani DiFranco in January.
