'File under heavenly voices,' says Albert Garzon, former producer for 10,000 Maniacs, of Joanne Juskus. Now touring with her 5-piece band, Near Oblivion, Juskus was nominated as 'Best New Artist', and her self-titled debut CD as 'Best Debut Recording' by the Washington Area Music Association. Joanne and Near Oblivion deliver electrifying performances of their highly musical and inspired mix of contemporary folk / jazz / progressive rock and funk.
