About joan
joan (Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford) have spent the past few years building their world, single by single, tour date by tour date; from their debut EP, 2019’s portra, to the much-loved cloudy & its sister EP partly cloudy, to 2021’s hi & bye EPs. Their songs have been streamed over 120 million times, with well over a million listeners a month across streaming platforms.

Their infectious blend of pop eras & styles belies their roots in Little Rock, Arkansas, but their sense of warmth and community from those around them at home gives their music a sense of belonging often missing from others’ and that extends to their fanbase. They interact with them via a successful Patreon page and through free meet & greets at every show.
Review
We have previously featured joan, with their single, “don’t wanna be your friend.” They just released a new track, “flowers.” Check it out below!
The new track is really well done. It features their signature sound with the instrumentals, and some beautiful vocals as well. They have the ability to bring the listener in with their lyrics, and leave them wanting more. This is an insanely talented group that just keeps popping out hits. Definitely a performance that needs to be on your playlists. As one of my favorite groups and is a staple on my playlists, you will be listening to them on repeat for a while.
