Disturbing Joan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disturbing Joan is a Saint Lucian band that plays reggae, rock and funk. The members were local surfers who emerged from the local bar scene, getting their first big break by opening for Malcolm Jamal Warner's band in 2001 at Jazz on the Square. They released their debut, Bush Tea, in 2002 and received the M&C Fine Arts Award the next year. In 2003, Disturbing Joan played with Third World and Barrington Levy, and toured in Martinique.
