Ash Arts Christmas Special starring the Joanna Cooke Band

Event information

Described by Motown legend Martha Reeves as "the baby girl singing the blues," Joanna Cooke has a soulful essence reminiscent of Joss Stone. Driven by passion and talent, Joanna's contemporary sound blends soul, jazz, and blues; 2024 has seen her playing festivals & prestigious UK venues supporting iconic international artists like Tom Jones, Jess Glynne, Rag N Bone Man, Martha Reeves, Paloma Faith & Mamas Gun. 

Her recent 'Kaleidoscope,' EP, produced by acclaimed musician Mark Edwards, took Joanna's self-composed songs into the UK Soul Music Charts Top 30. Yet, with a voice & song-writing talent that also transcends genres, Cooke has also seen successes in the international dance music scene, including a collaborations picked as 'hottest track of the week' on BBC Radio 1's dance anthems in both 2023 & 2034.

After supporting Matt Johnson (Jamiroquai) at his sold out at his autumn show at The Jazz Cafe London and Jess Glynne with her band, Joanna is excited to bring this new and captivating presentation of her music to festivals and venue events in 2025.
