One of Brazil's great musical treasures, Joyce returns to Belfast in April. A sophisticated urbanite, whose personal musical style was nurtured in Rio's fertile jazz and samba scenes. Her sound combines Brazilian rhythms, jazz harmonies and intelligent lyrics through a wonderfully expressive voice. Joyce has shared the stage with Liza Minelli, Tony Bennett, James Brown and numerous other legends at 'The Songwriters Hall of Fame' ceremonies in New York and has toured internationally for many years, performing at countless music festivals worldwide during a career that spans six decades With the finest backing band, including Joyce's husband and legendary Brazilian drummer Tutty Moreno, and Joyce's incomparable vocal, the live experience is something to be treasured. Constantly creative, Joyce has never stood still and remains a favourite with audiences worldwide. Venue: The MAC, Upstairs
