June 06, 2006
At long last, the wait is
over. JR2 Records is proud to
announce the release of Joanna’s
second full album simply titled
“JR2”.
This combination of tracks has something for
everyone. Joanna’s versatile style will
grab you from the very first song and keep
you enchanted through to the upbeat dance
mix as the final track that is sure to bring
you to your feet. With songs like
“Magic”,
“When I Cry, It’s Goodbye”, and “The One That Loved
Me Most Of All”
this will, without a doubt, please Joanna’s
many fans, as well as appeal to those newly
introduced to her music. Joanna also
touches on her song writing passion with
songs like “When We
Kiss (Ena Fili)” and
“You Left (Efeyes)” which she has co-written into English
versions from the Greek originals, as well
as converting
“Tomorrow Keeps Me
Alive”,
into Greek.
When asked to describe
her second album “JR2”, Joanna smiled
and said, “There is a little piece of
me in every song. This album was a joy to
make, because I truly love each and every
one of these songs. I couldn’t have dreamed
it would turn out so well. I would like to
thank all my fans for your on going support
and I look forward to performing for you
this summer. I encourage all to take a

for your listening pleasure. They can be

Exciting
New Projects
April 29, 2005
A busy, but
very exciting time lies ahead for Joanna as
she begins a schedule with several new
projects.
Joanna’s
projects include a life long wish,
organizing a corporate musical event. Also
on the schedule, a long anticipated music
video and a promotional trip to Europe as
well as a new CD project.
Joanna will
surprise her fans with a brand new project
that is currently in the works, her own
clothing line “Timeless”.
As
mentioned before, be prepared for a big
surprise, because Joanna’s clothing line is
“slightly different”.
Of course,
the most anticipated project is her upcoming
CD release “JR2”, which Joanna simply
describes as “a mix of all that I am”.
“I loved
recording “All That’s
Missing”, but working on “JR2” has taught me
so many new things. I’ve been working very
closely with Pim,
my producer on this album, he taught me so
much, he let me re-discover myself,
experiment with my own differences; I’ll be
forever thankful for that.”
This is
Joanna’s second full length album, with 14
new tracks and 4 Bonus tracks. Album is set
to be released this spring.
It
was truly a night to remember. By C.
John
April 04, 2005
If you had the pleasure of attending the
very memorable Joanna Rader concert last
night at “Stars On Broadway”, you would no
doubt agree she is one to watch for in the
years to come.
The moment you walked in the front door, you
felt the warm atmosphere inviting you to
take a set and relax. With a candle on every
table, you were soon greeted by the friendly
staff at “Stars On Broadway” and soon found
a delicious meal set before you. Joanna even
made herself available to greet many as they
took there seats.
The show starts off with a brief
introduction of Joanna’s origins and then
dives right into the music. The full 4 piece
band is comprised of very talented musicians
from diverse backgrounds.
They include:
Victor Yong-Guitars\Music
Director, Vladimir Lazic-
Keyboards, Luis Garzon Bass, and David
DiTomaso- Drums\Percussion.
Joanna charmed the audience with her
comfortable stage presence and inviting
personality. As you listened to each song,
you had the sense that each was sung as
though it were her favorite. And, as with
any live performance, you got to hear more
of a “rock” flavor then what is typically
heard on her albums. The energy and passion
in her voice reached each one in attendance.
It wasn’t difficult to spot many hands and
feet tapping along to the rhythm of each
song. There were even some who would sing
along to there favorites like “Falling For
An Angel” or “All That’s Missing”. One would
think she does this kind of show every
night. Thankfully the stage was large enough
to display such a strong show of talent by,
not only Joanna Rader, but the Band as well.
With only knowing each other a short time,
they were able to play with the unity that
would lead most to doubt that this was their
first concert together.
The evening was made up of two balanced sets
that included a mixture of songs from
several projects. Songs from her first album
“All That’s Missing” connected with fans
that have come to love her style of singing.
Joanna was also able to introduce us to her
Greek heritage with songs from her EP “Back
To The Roots”. The show also gave everyone a
sneak peek at a few songs from her up and
coming album “JR2” that is set to be
released in the summer of 2005. And just to
add a little extra bonus, Joanna performed
some of her favorite cover songs from
artists like Marc Anthony, Sade, Madonna,
and Shania Twain.
Those in attendance were also treated to new
acoustic versions of “What A Fool”, “All
That’s Missing”, and “Falling For An Angel”.
Victor Yong showed remarkable talent with
playing the complex melodies with ease.
Joanna’s style of introducing the band to
the audience was refreshing. Following the
name of every band member, was a unique
instrumental solo showcasing the skill of
each musician during the cover song “No
Ordinary Love” by Sade. After proudly
showing their talent, the reactions from the
crowd conveyed there enjoyment of the
evenings performance.
As the night came to a close, Joanna ended
her 25 song concert with heartfelt thanks
for those who were able to attend. She
expressed her wish to see them all again at
future performances and then said good
night. Appreciative fans approached the
stage and began handing her several bouquets
of flowers that she graciously accepted with
a brief hug.
Several fans were able to obtain autographed
copies of her first album “All That’s
Missing” and have stated their desire to
hear the next album, “JR2”. As everyone
collected their coats, Joanna once again was
available for quick good byes as everyone
made their way to the door. As everyone in
attendance that night would tell you, you
have not seen the last of Joanna Rader and
her Band. It was truly a night to remember.
The BAND

backgrounds-

is proud to introduce the following Musicians:
VICTOR
YONG – GUITARS

"Back To The
Roots" Joanna's unofficial release that lets
her re-discover her Greek Roots
December 23, 2004
"I re-discovered my
roots, and that is such a great feeling. I
was a little scared at first, especially
because I lost most of my Greek, and because
I always liked, listened and wanted to
record Pop music; but I would love, not only
to record in Greek, but to collaborate with
Greek musicians, songwriters and
performers.”
—Joanna—

EP will be enhanced further and officially
released in the spring of 2005, together
with the upcoming album "JR2".
