Joy
Askew grew up in the North of England and came to NYC in 1982. She
played keyboards and sang with many artists including fellow Brits
Joe Jackson and Peter Gabriel and performance artist Laurie
Anderson.
Joy has released 5 CD's and this year she is working on a new cd in
San Francisco with drummer Ricky Fataar( Bonnie Raitt, the Rutles).
These are personal and passionate songs written on the guitar and
piano. A lot of them are drawing from her past growing up in
Newcastle and being young in London in the 70’s… a time of
bedsits, pirate radio, American draft dodgers from the Vietnam war,
musicians, painters, cold gas fire winters and dreams of escape to
America.
