As adult music goes this is quite beefy."-- Jack Rabid, The Big TakeoverJoanne Juskus was chosen as one of 6 "BEST UNSIGNED BANDS OF THE NORTHEAST USA" -- Best of Baltimore -- by Amtrak's Arrive magazine (March/April 2006 issue)."File under heavenly voices," says Albert Garzon, former producer for 10,000 Maniacs, of Joanne Juskus, an accomplished pianist, vocalist and songwriter.
