It gives me great pleasure to write this cover for Jo as it is often hard to imagine a new talent that oozes such experience, but that is Jo St. Claire, a talent so diverse, so full of energy, passion and charisma that her diary is full.
Her vocal range and her ability to focus are qualities that Jo was born with, they have been nurtured and allowed to mature and now gives listeners the thrill of a life time as she presents each song like a mini drama.
Jo St. Claire puts soul into her music, her soul, her unique style, her professionalism shines through at each performance, but of all her performances my personal favourites have got to be Summertime and The Rose, for sheer impact, for balance, control and for quality, but listen for yourself there are many more that will hypnotize you.
Jo St.Claire has shared a stage with some of the most popular and powerful artists in Wales and for some of those artists she has become the entertainer they most ask for, her presence amongst her peers as a performer is highly respected.
She has been heard on radio and seen on television, but her most alluring feature is playing to a live audience, you have to see the way she sings, she will captivate you with her smile and the use of the stage, you will become transfixed by her eyes and her lips and then you hear the voice, she will have you in the palm of her hands, bewitched.
Jo St.Claire, once seen never forgotten, buy her album, use the website and share the experience
