Joy Clark at Old Sloop Presents

Description

New Orleans-born singer-songwriter Joy Clark will make her inaugural appearance at the Old Sloop Presents performing arts series Saturday, February 3.
Clark is a lyrical guitarist, composer, and rising star in the Americana music scene. She creates soulful compositions that celebrate peace and the undeniable power of love. Her intricate rhythms and warm melodies reveal a sweet vulnerability that has enchanted audiences around the world. Her melodic offerings have been described as a balm for an anxious heart. Each song beckons the listener, welcoming them with open arms—always advocating for truth, authenticity, self-love, and the courage to boldly tell one’s story. Growing up the daughter of a minister, she learned to create an atmosphere ripe for an emotional experience. She believes music is her ministry and intimacy is her superpower.
Clark will be accompanied for this concert by fellow New Orleanians Tiffany Morris on bass and Brad Bourgeois on drums.
The performance will take place at 7:30pm in the handicap-accessible Fellowship Hall of the First Congregational Church of Rockport, 12 School St. Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for those age 18 and under.
