Joyann Parker unleashes the spirit of Wisconsin in 'Sconnie Girl'


In the heart of the Minneapolis music scene, Joyann Parker has carved out a niche for herself, but it's the roots of her Wisconsin background that shape her latest single, and she's ready to share that influence with the world.


Joyann Parker's career goes beyond showcasing her ability to sing and write in traditional American styles; she's a master at blending them in unique ways. In her new single, "Sconnie Girl," she takes us on a backwoods celebration, a rustic shout-out that could easily find its place on a Nashville playlist. While the themes of small-town pride, community, and resilience resonate with contemporary country hits, Parker's delivery also owes a debt to the blues, and her band's swing shows a deep connection to the jazz tradition. When the six-strings plug in and the solos kick in, we can hear a good dose of pure rock and roll.



Joining Parker on this musical journey is another fervent believer in the warmth of American music, and a fellow Sconnie, Chris Kroeze. He's from Barron in Northern Wisconsin. Kroeze rose to national fame as the runner-up on the fifteenth season of "The Voice." His gruff baritone voice naturally complements Joyann Parker's searing music which creates a powerful synergy when their voices harmonize.


"Sconnie Girl" becomes a celebration of Wisconsin's spirit, a mix of country-rock standards delivered with passion and authenticity. Joyann Parker brings the essence of her roots to the forefront and she creates a musical experience that pays homage to the diverse sounds that make up the American musical tapestry. "Sconnie Girl" is a testament to the enduring legacy of small-town pride and the richness of musical influences that flow through her veins.
