Artists:Joan Osborne
From WWR

Joan Elizabeth Osborne was born on July 8, 1963, in Anchorage, Kentucky. Her early desire was filmmaking, which led her to New York City where she was a film student at New York University's prestigious film school. Faced with the daunting task of financing her own education, circumstances resulted in a lapse in enrollment. It was during this break that Joan found herself in a little blues bar singing Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child" after a friend's late night dare. The realization of a great talent was, thus, born. What followed next was Joan's full blown induction into New York City's thriving blues and roots music scene, a scene that also nurtured acts like Blues Traveler, Chris Whitley, the Holmes Brothers and the Spin Doctors.
A hungry student, Joan began her immersion by attending open-mic nights and sitting in with bands. It wasn't long before Joan pieced together bands of her own, quickly making a name for herself as an incredible live performer. Rolling Stone magazine predicted early that Joan was the "next explosion waiting to happen" and in 1992 she formed her own label, Womanly Hips, releasing the live-recorded Soul Show. The 5,000 copies sold fast; and shortly thereafter, Joan released the three track EP Blue Million Miles. It wasn't long until Mercury Records won the major label bidding for Joan, signing her to their roster. read more.
