The Joys strike a balance between straightforward rock and a breath of feel-good energy. With strong songwriting tying everything together, the driving life-force is lead singer Sarah Smith, playing the role of charismatic stage-woman to full effect. Creating a fanbase by touring all over Ontario, the band definitely made an impact with an inspired and energetic set, earning the title of Canadian-bred rock and roll.

Music has always been about freedom of spirit, the quest for independence, a fair sprinkling of mystique. At the heart of this is Lonely Vagabond. Part archetypal music fan: champion of local music, tireless showgoer, MySpace provocateur, the common-man at venues under the cover of stealth. Part insider: experiencing the potholes and triumphs of the music scene, hovering through the nitty-gritty of promotion, media, and DIY debauchery.
The epicenter is Toronto, where the musical landscape is tightly knit, decadent, and explosively creative. Urban adventurers hurdling the boundaries. The city is buzzing with activity and the potential explosion of subculture is stirring that flame. A glorification of a new attitude, a passionate battle-cry declaring that this city's music community is as exciting as ever.

I totally agree with Denise, I have seen these guys play 4 times in the last year and I always go away feeling happy and energized. They are very open to conversation with the croud and they always bring a great mood and Sarah’s knockout smile. Sorry Mike, I had to put that in there.
