Rocker Jo Wymer at once bludgeons and seduces her audiences with her gritty and soulful songs. In a musical landscape often dominated by youngsters, Wymer is a grownup. She earned every one of the open, raw, and unrefined feelings in her songs – heartache, yearning, sex, lust, sin, romance, loss, and joy –and her voice promises her audiences will feel them too. The visceral experience of hearing and watching Wymer deliver these songs with her voice, her guitar, and her hard rocking band, in one of her sweat-soaked live performances, leaves her audiences more than satisfied, yet still yearning. She wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jo frequently performs live in the NJ/NY/PA region with her powerhouse rock band. She also performs rare solo acoustic shows, which provide a unique opportunity to see her perform her music in stripped down form.

Jo’s debut album LIVING WITH SCARS, officially released June 25, 2011, comes from the scar tissue of adult perspective – sex, guilt, joy, failure, love, loss, lust, and their consequences and rewards – and the faith that keeps us moving forward in spite of it. The music itself would find itself comfortably beside late 1960’s and 1970’s rock, r&b, and soul, and it embraces those influences.
