'The Joys' are coming 'The Joys' are coming!
They'll be performing at The 1000 Islands Music Festival THIS Saturday August 15th... and I couldn't be more excited!
I had the pleasure of booking/meeting this energetic group of musicians about a year ago in Moncton. Their album 'Unfold' is powerful and moving! You can tell these guys are SERIOUS about their music.

SS: Sarah Smith
MB: Megan Brett
MB: Have you played in the 1000 Islands Area Before?
SS: well...we've played the Belleville waterfront festival 2 years in a row, and have a played a few shows in Kingston. that's about as close as we've ever gotten. mike, our guitar player, grew up in the Napanee area, so i guess he'll be close to home...
MB: Any surprises in store for the 1000 Island Music Festival?
SS: nope - we're just gonna rock out the way we always do. no show is any more important than the next - although this one might be a bit BIGGER! we're pumped!
MB: What's been the best part of your summer so far?
SS: we've been writing new material for our 2nd album. our producer, dale penner (nickleback, holly macnarland, econoline crush), flew in from Winnipeg and we did a few days of pre-production at our rehearsal space. the music is really coming together - that's exiting!
MB: I read somewhere that The Joys are working on a new album. How's that going so far?
SS: ha. see above. but really...it is going awesome! the music is powerful; great energy...good vibes. we are going to Winnipeg in September to hopefully finish the recording process. we're expecting to have an early spring release.
MB: What can we expect from this album?
SS: high energy rock n roll!
MB: What's the next stop for The Joys?
SS: we'll be playing a few local show in September, then going to Winnipeg for recording, then a few stops in Kingston and Ottawa at the end of September, than another tour of west coast Canada. woo-hoo!
MB: What's your favorite thing to do when you aren't touring, performing and recording?
SS: i like walking my 2 golden retrievers, daisy and dallas, and hanging at home with my family. they make me very happy!
MB: How do we get a copy of 'Unfold'?!?
SS: you can buy our cd online http://www.thejoys.ca/store.phpat HMV, CD PLUS and SUNRISE (you may have to order it in if there's not one at the store), and of course, at any one of our shows!
