Next Show!- Joy Zimmerman & Mike Ward
Joy Zimmerman cultivates joy and community with a clear, rich voice. A folk singer/songwriter at home on guitar and violin, Joy brings audiences lyrical songs and stories, as well as occasional fiddle tunes. Her latest album, Where the Light Lives, debuted at #6 on the Folk Alliance International (FAI) Folk Chart. Joy’s passion for music began with violin lessons before kindergarten. Many miles of classical music later, she picked up a guitar, found her voice of honey, and discovered a talent for songwriting. Joy’s music is “vivid and alive, tender and poignant, and altogether a gift for the listener” (Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus).
Award -winning Detroit singer-songwriter Mike Ward is know for his lyrically centric, vocally charged folk songs. Born in the 50's he grew up through the conscious-raising 60's, where a new awareness of the world was colliding around him (both good and bad), His influences range from Dylan, to Prine, to Simon & Garfunkel, to Jason Isbell. Mike has an intimate songwriting style that reflects family, community and the world around us. His fear of leaving this world without making a difference in the lives of others, is part of what drives him. "How can any of us rest with so much work to be done?"
