Mapping the journey: The road wasn’t easy for Jeremy Joyce, but it was formative. The musician grew up on indie rock and alt-country in his hometown of Philadelphia, before the death of his brother drove him to New York and jazz. He found psychedelic folk and rockabilly after a stint in St. Louis, until he was once again uprooted by the passing of his mother. Joyce landed in New Orleans with genre-defying “dance-inducing funk and R&B,” inspired by his many musical chapters. His most recent album, Street Poet, is a timeless, funk-leaning record driven by Joyce’s cool vocals and slick guitar.
