joan consists of two members, Alan Thomas and Steven Rutherford, both from Little Rock, Arkansas. Both a part of separate bands individually, they came together to write their first single ‘Take Me On,’ and decided to form their band! Thomas is typically the lead singer, guitarist, and keyboardist of the group. Rutherford is the drummer and contributes vocals as well. As for genre, Billboard describes them as an “indie pop duo.” They have a very nostalgic feeling, both to their music and marketing. Their single covers often look straight out of the ’80s, and their first E.P. potra is named after Potra 400 film. The duos unique take on modern indie pop seems to interest more and more new fans each day.

joan is still in their early years, forming around early 2017. In just three years, they have supported multiple artists (most notably COIN, the Aces, and flor) and just recently embarked on their first headline tour. 

The tour consisted of 21 dates and enlisted artist Ralph as the opener. The group played all of their E.P. potra, as well as their previously released singles.
