Joan Bessie

Written By Troy McNamara

Joan Bessie’s music is best described as a “sonic hug.” Her breakthrough single “G.G.” spent 10 weeks on the CBC Music Top 20 chart, firmly establishing momentum, followed by the continued success of “I Ride Alone” and “Dark Voices,” both reaching the Top 100 on the CIC chart and highlighting a perfect blend of authenticity and hooky songwriting. Joan Bessie’s live show is presented in a distinctive duo format, featuring rich harmonic chemistry and connected musical instinct. Industry praise includes CBC Music Supervisor Patrick Russell noting, “Joan Bessie’s music is hard-hitting and beautifully crafted. The words are poetry,” and VIRGIN Radio’s Chad Martin calling Joan Bessie “a powerful and unique voice… a must listen.” Recent performances include CCMA Country Crawl (Edmonton), Lights of Wonder (Victoria), Island FanCon (Langford), Khatsahlano Street Party (Vancouver), and the award-winning Joan Bessie Cabaret show at the 2025 Victoria Fringe Festival.

A good idea with passionate individuals behind it is what gets me going!

With training and work experience in Marketing, Event Management and Architecture along with being an International Sailing Coach for the past ten years I have been afforded the opportunity to work alongside many inspiring individuals and groups.

With this experience I came to realise my passion and strengths are within creating and building relationships as well as realizing an idea or team's potential and helping them present that potential to prospective clients both visually and verbally.

I am always looking for a challenge and for the opportunity to help an individual or team bring an idea/dream to fruition! 

Feel free to reach out for a chat.
