Hey Everyone.
I would be honored to come and share my music with you and your friends. Since I don’t travel with a band or production, I’m usually able to work within even the most modest budgets. Here are some of the ways I would be able to serve you:

HOUSE SHOWS:
One of the most creative venues in the past few years are “house” shows—un-amplified performances in your living room or dorm suite. There’s something special about a musical conversation with a small, intimate group.

STUDENT MINISTRY SETTINGS:
Whether with high school or college students, I’m very comfortable sharing my story and songs with both faith-based and mainstream groups, and having an honest conversation about my relationship with Jesus.

GIRLS/WOMEN’S EVENTS:
Me being a female, it is always easier to relate to someone who understands life and struggles from the viewpoint of…a female. Kind of obvious.

FESTIVALS:
Okay, I CAN bring a band…but there is something intimate and revealing with just a mic and a guitar.

I don’t have a set fee. Basically, give me a guitar and an audience, and I will play just about anywhere.
My main request is that you consider that this is how I make my living and prayerfully consider how to be a steward of that responsibility. I also want you to know that I usually travel with a friend for safety and efficiency, so we may need lodging, meals, and transportation expense depending on how far you are from my home in Memphis. And depending on the location, you’ll want to provide a reasonable sound system with a vocal mic on a boom-type stand, a direct box for my guitar input, and a floor monitor so I can hear myself. That’s about it.
Hope to hear from you.

THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED JOY IN CONCERT SAY… “Joy Whitlock is not only one of my favorite new Christian artists; she is one of my favorite people to listen to, period. One of the most unique voices I’ve heard, combined with a raw heart expressing itself through gifted songwriting. I have to admit that one of the things I was most excited about the Better Questions Tour was getting the chance to sit and listen to Joy every night.”
Todd Agnew - Christian recording artist

“Her musical skill and style have been compared to Sarah McLachlan, Jennifer Knapp and Sarah Masen. I have 35 +years in radio and the music industry and in my opinion: Joy stands in a category that is her very own. There is a prodigious intensity in her music, testimony and message … yet she is able to convey her thoughts with remarkable tenderness with genuine hope the end result!”
Pastor Samme Palermo - Senior Pastor, Oasis Christian Fellowship/Advisory Board, Kingdom Bound Festival, Williamsville, NY

“NewSong had the privilege of having Joy Whitlock join us on our 2007 Christmas Tour with Todd Agnew. We were not only impressed with her passionate voice and great musicianship—but with her transparency and humility. Anyone who hears Joy’s music and testimony cannot help but be moved by the transforming power of God’s forgiveness.”
Eddie Carswell – NewSong

“We really enjoyed and appreciated Joy joining us at Big Ticket Festival. Her music was music was great, and her personal testimony was truly heart-touching.”
Glen A. Catt - Big Ticket Festival, Gaylord, MI

“Joy has performed at The Alive Festival two different times–one acoustic and another with a band. She has a unique, refreshing, relevant, style. Joy is sometimes rocking it out and next minute singing a heartfelt ballad. Great writer, great voice and always engaging with the audience!”
Bill Graening - Director, Alive Festival, Canal Fulton, OH
