New Live CD! May 4, 2008 I am proud to announce that I have just completed a new live CD called "Wouldn't Fix It Anyways". The new CD contains songs that I have been singing over the last few years but have not been available to take home until now. I think people who have been asking for a recording that is more representative of what I sound like live will be pleased. It isn't a perfect performance, but I think there is truth in imperfections.. CDs will be available at my upcoming performances or if you would like to order a CD, please visit the store. Live Video from Mocha Maya's January 14, 2008 Mocha Maya's has posted 3 of my songs on the internet. Sun From Here, Here In My Life, Jesus Was A Man "Live at the Pushkin" November 15, 2007 Performing at the Pushkin was a lot of fun. Great acoustics and friends. The night was a huge success and raised money for Kerry's art scholarship for young artists in the Pioneer Valley. I am always struck by Kerry's generosity whether it is financial or simply shinning the light of appreciation on others.
Knockin' The Dust Off May 19, 2007 Had another fun night at Mocha Maya's on Saturday, May 19th. I would say lots of old friends showed up--but I already used that line--so I will say it was another great night of music. I was able to video tape it so if I can figure out how to post a video clip I will post the link for fun. Got to play "Rain" and "Gently By" twice due to a special audience request (Kerry and Gretchen). Next focus--recording some new songs for everyone!!! I will keep you posted. Joy Sooths Mocha Maya's September 30, 2006 Had a wonderful show at Mocha Maya's on Saturday. Lots of old friends showed up--it was fabulous playing in my home area for really the first time. I want to thank Chris and Bruce the owners of Mocha Maya's. It is a great place to play and they love music so if you are a fellow musician you should consider heading out that way. Local writer, Gregory G. Lewis wrote a great review of the night. He titled it Joy Sumberg Sooths Mocha Maya's. Click here to read the review. Free To Fly - The Movie April 29, 2006 The premiere for "Free To Fly" was held on Saturday, April 29, 2006 to a capacity crowd in Northfield, Massachusetts. Written & Directed by Kerry A. Kazokas "Free To Fly" is a story about a young woman who is a lost soul in a lost society. A drinking and driving accident leaves Anna with a slight limp and a big question about who she wants to be. Featured in the movie are two songs by Joy Sumberg--"Dancer" and"Rain" --and Joy as a performer at the coffeehouse open mic.

Barre Good Fun March 18, 2006 A great time was had by all at The Thunderbird Cafe on Saturday. Lots of old friends (and some new ones) showed up to be entertained. The result was an intimate evening of storytelling and original acoustic music. Bobby Jackson was a gracious host and even warmed up the audience with some classics. "Rain" Day March 9, 2006 "Congratulations! As a result of some very enthusiastic reviews from GarageBand.com members, "Rain" will be Track of the Day at GarageBand.com.

Kerry's Art Exhibit Performance November 12 , 2005 This Friday (the 11th) I had the pleasure of playing at Kerry Anne Kazokas' art exhibit at The Green Trees Gallery in Northfield, MA. It was incredible being back in my home town. I got to see people I hadn't seen for over ten years. The exhibit was a huge success! Joy and Larry at the Middle East September 3, 2005 Joy and the Journeyman played their hearts out this Friday at the Middle East (Corner). It has been very rewarding to play these past few time with Larry Kennedy. A true gentleman. After this performance I will be taking time to develop my solo music project with some new musicians. Keep an eye out. Joy and The Journeyman April 27, 2005 I had the pleasure of playing with Larry Kennedy, harpist and co-founder of Neptune Bay, down at Grumpy's this past weekend. It was wonderful to reconnect with him and I am pleased to say he is doing great and playing at the blues jams down in Falmouth. We played some of the originals we love performing so much "Old Friends," "Here in My Life," "A Place for Us," "Gently By," and others. We are thinking playing out togther as, "Joy and the Journeyman." If you see the name around, you will know who it is.
