She’s known around
Brantford
as the Elvis Lady; the big lady with the big voice and the indomitable
spirit of goodwill. Originally
hitting the spotlight as a dancer and then as an Elvis Impersonator; Joan
has evolved into the effervescent champion of the performing arts and one of
the most popular entertainers in the City.
With more than 25 years of stage experience
behind her, including acting, singing and dancing along with an impressive
long musical resume; Brantford’s very own Rock and Roll Diva owns the centre
spotlight. Whether she’s
belting out rock and roll or crooning ballads…Joan’s powerful pipes, matched
with her comical antics on stage and an innate ability to work a room like
nobody’s business, has allowed Joan the honour of entertaining more than
500,000 people in Canada
and the U.S.
