For reals Im sititin here saying to myself "Why the fuck have I never seen these bad ass musicians?" For Gods sakes maaan!!!! This is an outrage I follow Joe Bonamassa and I am just NOW seeing this AMAZING WOMAN GUITARIST WHO IS HANGIN WIT DA BIG BOYS!!!!
I've been a fan of Joanna's for 30 years. We are the same age and both born on the same day, and both play guitar. She's absolutely awesome on the slide guitar.
@@jong0000 Same here. I also saw her at the old Back Room, in Delray two or three times. She had her children with her once. She worked hard during those years.
She is the reason why we need to keep blues alive, when you just listen to that guitar you realise what adventure can be explored and what songs can be uncovered. Joanna Connor absolute legend, she cannot be competed by any other blues player with that slide 🙌🏻🙌🏻
tienes toda la razon,yo la acabo de escuchar y me he quedado flipado ,lastima de no aberla escuchado hace 30 años ,Muchos saludos para esa pedazo de banda
I was a radio DJ in the early/mid 80s. I had a blues show, and a good library to pick from. Joanna Connor was there. She was not this good back then. Not even close. But GOD DAMN she has grown into the music, and it's so good to hear this. One of the best on the planet.
Same here but the early Nineties, I had my own Blues show on the local college station and was amazed at the local talent in Chicago. Then I got stuff from the west and west coast. Wow. Mark Hummel, Little Ed, William Clarke, Little Charley. A lot of great Musicians who never get air time .
People do get better if they don't rest on their laurels. Elvin Bishop is a perfect example. He has to sit down half his set anymore, but he plays phenomenally better than he did at 25, and clearly enjoys it. Comes off simple and folksy but he's a Rhodes Scholar like Bill Clinton...
Yeah me too. Of all the people he talked about on that video, she stood out to me. I love this kind of music anyway. She's really incredibly talented. There's another musician I like who does kind of similar music. Maybe you've heard of him, maybe not but just on case he's called Seasick Steve. I think he's great anyway. He's known for playing either homemade guitars or really crumby guitars.
This is just awesome. What this lady can do is off the planet. I could listen to Joanna all day and all night. I've ordered some of her cds. I can not wait to get them. This is true virtuoso playing. Man oh man strum those bass strings.
I'm new to her too...Thanx to the Wings of Pegasus sub...i've listened to two CDs so far...dig every song off Nothing but the Blues...haven't finished all of the other yet but thinking I'll dig all those too..lol
Hats of for this amazing musician. It’s great to see her play and use the guitar like no other. She is not a copycat...she has her own style. Thanks for the word 🙏🙏.
Heard her for the first time last night. Phenomenal is the only word that comes to mind! Can't believe I've never heard of her before. She rocks! Gonna try to catch one of her shows someplace.
Joanna Connor, you are the baddest assed blues guitar and slide player I have ever seen!!! I found you a couple of years ago, I wish I was half that good!!!
I don't even consider myself a blues fan but she is so fun to watch! I have seen this video dozens of time and I don't get tired of it. There is something about watching someone do something that they just love to do that is exciting; at least sometimes (bowling being an exception ;-).
I stood right next to the guy that took this vid. Her whole set was completely amazing. Heard some of her recorded stuff and it's great, but live is so much fun!
just fuckin awesome! i been playin for 40 + yrs and she is legit, makes ya want to smack a gator and drink a 5th of shine !!!!!! rock on woman oh and the band ain"t bad either
Wow, what an awesome guitarist/band. Love her! I must have had my head in the sand not to know about her earlier...I keep playing this, it's energising!
This is my first time finding out about her. When she started singing I was like "Damn, I was not expecting that kind of voice to come from her. She is amazing."
i am a rory gallagher fan , and so i keep looking on youtube for his sort of material, by accident i came across ms connor , wow can she play that axe, you give me faith in these times of plastic trash music , god bless you.
Truly a power blues star ⭐️ Love every performance. She’s obviously & plainly a player/ singer right up there in the Johnny Winter league - and I will always be in love with JW... here’s an equal on her way to the top. 💜
Found this awesome woman (and shared) via Wings of Pegasus...a band with British analysts and guitarist named Fil! INCREDIBLE that we have to "luck upon" such fantastic talent!!!! Joanna Connor one of the greats!
I‘ve never seen anyone like this lady playing a guitar. She is Aaaaaamazing!
One of the best guitar faces I’ve ever seen
Almost as good as Gary Moore 👌
Alvin Lee
Not sure if mean or nice
Billy strings
Joe Bonamassa
Not only Joanna but the whole goddamn band is nuts
Damn she's really good ,fantastic !Why we never heard about her before . Shame on me .
Crap that's all I can say
@@alexbehrens4411 It's not good to talk about yourself on here Alex.!! 😂😂
it's a strain to hear her singing on this particular performance though. The sound mix is off.
my entire life i thought i knew who all the great guitarists were, today i question everything
Excellent Post

Nadine are you using you gift?
I got to meet her at Riverwalk Blues FEstival in FTL in the early 90's..
@@jong0000 Same here. I also saw her at the old Back Room, in Delray two or three times. She had her children with her once. She worked hard during those years.
And I wasn't a fan of hers, I hadn't even heard of her, but now everything has changed. This is very tasty music.

That was some serious psychedelic shit right there! My jaw fall beneath the tectonic discs of the Earth! 😮😮😮🤩🤩🤩
I agree whole heartedly ! Well said!👍👍👍
Nice Joanna Conner
This video is a great example of why Blues is best experienced in a live environment.
Crazy performance and the whole band is having a blast
My God , she's taking care of business ! Simply fantastic. Great guitar playing, great voice , great band. Amen.
I have loved her playing and singing for a long time, the most underrated guitarist on the planet. ROCK/WALK ON JOANNA!🙏❤️🙏
Her guitar playing is out of this world. Killer tone, too.
Rory Gallagher würde sich freuen. Genial !
shame on me for discovering this lady and her music only now - 30 years she' s in the business... Great performance - kick ass bass solo also
Just found her and I'm looking up everything she's doing. Makes me want to pick up the guitar again and learn blues tuning.
tienes toda la razon,yo la acabo de escuchar y me he quedado flipado ,lastima de no aberla escuchado hace 30 años ,Muchos saludos para esa pedazo de banda
Same here! I am like, where the heck has she been? Where have I been?
Likewise... Just a case of better late then never
she's been playing for decades - i'm so glad people are discovering her ... she def deserves more attention. and her band is k-ass amazing too

You call that good now? Barf..
@@deenutz186 It's not good?
@@deenutz186 Show us your skills
Found you because of Stevie T - you are phenomenal.
Yeah me too. Of all the people he talked about on that video, she stood out to me. I love this kind of music anyway. She's really incredibly talented.

Me too
Do they have a channel?
Me too
me too and .... i'm french ! i love stevie-t
Wow, absolutely INSANE slide work. How have I never heard of this person before?!?
i am shell shocked just shows you out of the main stream there is talent most of us do not see Joanna you are awesome
Mainstream music overall is pretty horrible . I try to avoid it at all cost .
Eric Nordahl : You know that. Eric.🙏🏻
Everything mainstream is to avoid, if you know what I mean
I am just having a very wide smile watching this.
Listened to this several times already. Still my mouth just falls open.
I love this woman, a fantastic musician, have a great sense of humor, and the drummer and the bass player are great!
Indeed! All of her band is great. I think her rythm guitarist has played with her for years
а разве это женщина ?
Drummer's style reminds me of animal from the muppets, and that's a compliment!
Sure
She plays with so much passion. It's great to see.
Some say the devil sold his soul to play as good as Joanna Connor.
Hahaha and he still dont make the cut lol
Oh how the tables have turned...
So damn true she is freakin assasian of guitar
@@arpanlimboo6403 "assassin"
Yeahhhh
This is just awesome. What this lady can do is off the planet. I could listen to Joanna all day and all night. I've ordered some of her cds. I can not wait to get them. This is true virtuoso playing. Man oh man strum those bass strings.
She is good - very, very good
I'm new to her too...Thanx to the Wings of Pegasus sub...i've listened to two CDs so far...dig every song off Nothing but the Blues...haven't finished all of the other yet but thinking I'll dig all those too..lol
This lady has it all. Feeling, technique, attitude and a lot of dirt in her guitar playing. Absolutely fantastic.
Her enthusiasm is INFECTIOUS!!!!! LOVE IT
We saw Joanna for the first time yesterday at the Chicago Blues Festival. Wow!! What a talented lady!!
Hats of for this amazing musician. It’s great to see her play and use the guitar like no other. She is not a copycat...she has her own style. Thanks for the word 🙏🙏.
Actual chills.
I'm trying to find words but I am literally speechless from her playing
No room for words all emotion
Holy mother of pearl , I thought she couldn't get better ! My word ! That thing nearly ignited.
Oh man that bass break was awesome!! and joanna rocks everytime i would love the chance to jam with her it would be so good...
Heard her for the first time last night. Phenomenal is the only word that comes to mind! Can't believe I've never heard of her before. She rocks! Gonna try to catch one of her shows someplace.
God, she is incredible!
Joanna Connor, you are the baddest assed blues guitar and slide player I have ever seen!!! I found you a couple of years ago, I wish I was half that good!!!
Ну, почему я не могу поставить сотню лайков, когда это реально того стоит?!)))
Such a positive woman!) Love her and adore her guitar playing and acting! She is wonderful!
She's brilliant. Much love and the band
Why have we never even heard of this woman? She obviously can play her (blank) off!!! Great band. Great job!
Love hearing Joanna Conner play. Saw her 2 different times at Kingston Mines a few years ago.
This lady kills it . I have got to see her live.
Damn do I love finding gems like this! Absolutely a great artist! She's got the Stevie Ray Vaughan face down and all! Love it!
Maybe SRV had the Joanna face down pat!
OMG!!!!!😍😍She’s wonderful!!!!!! What a great performers!!!!!

Rich, full sound. Would pay to see this band play. Love it!
Just heard of Joanna tonight. Saw her at a festival. Must say she is best guitar player I've seen in person. I'm soaking up all her stuff now!
She is brilliant. Best of all the female blues players as well as male, the right feel with the right soul. Brilliant band to...
Gosh! What a performance from all of 'em. *massive applause*
Slaying it Joanna. Glad I found your channel again. You're one of the best around.
Sweet slide playing! Great tones and the whole band is groovin'!
Can't believe I've only just discovered this incredible musician, ordered an album and looking forward to hearing as much as I can
The finest Thank you Maestro !!!!!
This band is AMAZING!!!
Imagine if your grandma played like that, true blues soul on display
Great Joanna ! What a Performance and what a Band. I Love it !⚡️🇩🇪⚡️
2:55 I am currently trying to practice this lick and the speed and control required is insane. Huge respect for Joanna Connor
The way she plays slide is soooo smooth
She is all over the fucking place lol
Awesome! This lady and his marvelous band.
Wow,, what a lady...I was lol of joy when I listened to that blues...amazing... it's an absolute privilege to walking the same planet as her ...
Drummer, Cameron Lewis, really into the show, I love this stuff. The Blues is alive and well.
I am so freaking glad I stumbled upon this woman.
Woooooooooooo!!!! She is one with the guitar!!! A rocker mama!!! Very rare like a jewell. And the group all great!!!! What a talent.
Sheeet! The ease in which she plays is incredible. DAMN! A true master of her craft. Bravo! So smooth in movement. WOW!
I stood right next to the guy that took this vid. Her whole set was completely amazing. Heard some of her recorded stuff and it's great, but live is so much fun!
Daniel Pierce If you were standing next to a guy, then this isn't his video since I filmed this and the last I checked, I am a woman, lol
Must have been the guy next to you, then. My mistake.
No problem, just thought it was funny.
I meant you no disrespect. I simply thought this vid was taken by the person on my left, and not you, obviously on my right.
I'm jealous of you BOTH! They are TIGHT!
Glad i found this, insane skills and the band is amazing
The main riff for the verse is so unbelievably badass.
It's like a Billy Gibbons sort of riff you just have the urge to chicken neck too.
Imgur led me here, and Joanna's going on my "To See Live" wall. And the bassist solo was just icing on that cupcake.
just fuckin awesome! i been playin for 40 + yrs and she is legit, makes ya want to smack a gator and drink a 5th of shine !!!!!! rock on woman oh and the band ain"t bad either
Im in love with Joanna Connor. Johnny Winters got nothing on you Babe. Totally impressed. Thank you. 🤘💝
It's like the principal from Matilda is a badass blues artist
You nailed it 😂❤️
Yes
true
Kurt Meister underrated comment
@@-_-lfc6230 Thats the funniest thing I have heard for ages - LOLS
This is life changing. Great artists, great solos.
Wow, what an awesome guitarist/band. Love her! I must have had my head in the sand not to know about her earlier...I keep playing this, it's energising!
This lady ROCKS!!!!!!!!! This is talent ,this is what needs to be on the charts!!!!
"My mind has just been blown,she is truly amazing"
So glad I found this.
I saw her twice in Chicago at the « Kingston Mines »
She was amazing !!!!
I really wish to see her again !
Same!
DAS macht Hoffnung. Solche Frauen braucht die Welt !!! Genial, wie die spielt !!! Klasse !!!
This is my first time finding out about her. When she started singing I was like "Damn, I was not expecting that kind of voice to come from her. She is amazing."
Wowzers. Coolest grandma on the block!
What a Blues Lady, I'm gob smacked that I've never heard her before. That's what you get living in theUK.
Joanna absolutely mesmerises me with her serious skills and passion for her sound.
Another reason to wish I was living in the home state of the Blues.
Underrated guitar player...
i am a rory gallagher fan , and so i keep looking on youtube for his sort of material, by accident i came across ms connor , wow can she play that axe, you give me faith in these times of plastic trash music , god bless you.
Watching her guitar faces is better than watching her hands play, Joanna is an absolute monster on the guitar 💪
WOW! SUPER JOANNA!!! A super guitar player, super singer. Thanks for sharw your art with The simples mortals. BRAVO, Joana!!!
Ich habe Sie erst heute entdeckt- zu meiner Schande!!! Sie ist absolut großartig!
As always !! ...One badass Blue Lady !!!!! Met a few times in Buffalo NY..... amazing show every time !!!!
i'll be damned !!! where has she been, only just discovered her OUT-STANDING!.....in fact the whole band are super, so much talent within it
I'M SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS SHE IS KILLIN IT
Truly a power blues star ⭐️
Love every performance.
She’s obviously & plainly a player/ singer right up there in the Johnny Winter league - and I will always be in love with JW... here’s an equal on her way to the top. 💜

Damn, that guitar gonna need a month vacation and massage after that. Ever seen an instrument get handled as expertly as that? I haven't.
That guitar will need a cigarette and a bottle of heineken
Many times by Johnny Winter.
Watch Justin Johnson videos on RUclips.
😂😂😂
Ralph Pezda hes joking god damnit
Amazing Joannas fingers...I love your playin the blues music melody.
omg just found her today on spotify, and she has been around like forever. Amazing. I thought i was old school, but nooo i didn't know anything....
I found her today too. It's a crime for society for this kind of talent is not widely known
I cannot find her at all on Spotify
Girl where you been all my life!?! That band is crushing it and shes driving them
Woman in blues is a woman in BLOOD!!!!!!WONDERFUL
that is so good nearly busted my speakers when i pumped it up.
Love the fact that everyome got a crack at a mad solo and shredded it
Brings tears to my eyes
Just brilliant, wonderful 👍
Going to Chicago this summer to see her perform. Can't WAIT!!!! :) :)!
1st time hearing this band I love it I love her a BREATH of fresh air lord play the blue's
She's the graphical example of when you feel the music, she can describe emotion in her solos... Amazing!!!
@1:49 "Damn, my B string is 0.72 Hertz out of tune... Let me quickly fix this... There..."
She's an alien, its the only possible explanation
This is amazing
