Joyce Spencer  Jazz Band from Rowlett, TX

Joyce Spencer (saxophonist, flutist and vocalist) is a diverse entertainer that provides traditional to contemporary jazz (smooth jazz, jazz fusion, etc), RnB, funk, pop, blues, reggae, and Gospel/Christian from a solo act to an eight piece party band. Joyce also accommodates settings that may only require a duo, trio, quartet, etc. with one genre of music to multiple genres that meet your budget, venue size and/or crowd/audience expectations. So whether you need "dinner music" with classic soft ballads (vocal and instrumental) and/or upbeat party music that keeps everybody hyped and dancing and anything in between, you need not look any further. Joyce Spencer has the right musical act for you. Joyce's experience includes corporate parties/conventions (national and international), church conventions, house parties, weddings, music festivals, "cocktail" music, concerts, exclusive/private clubs, award winning jazz clubs/restaurants and VIP and political gatherings from 100's to 1000's of guests and/or spectators. Her educational background includes a bachelor's degree in instrumental music education where she also studied saxophone and flute, classical and jazz, theater, and radio and TV broadcasting. She also participated in the college choir, stage plays and musicals. After a brief period with the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra on flute, Joyce moved from Louisiana to Texas where her career shifted to corporate America; however, she returned with sheer determination over seven years ago with her first album, "Sweet Dreams", and has since released three more projects, including the latest jazz album. "Many Colors", which includes both original music and cover songs. She has graced the stage of many music festivals, concert venues, and corporate shows in the United States, but her albums are being played by radio stations all over the world.
