Artist History Original founding members Joan & Mark Ludmer crave performing on the big stage. "We know that the masses are getting ready for big-show oriented performances again, whether it be in an arena, a small club, or on a web cast", says Joan (a.k.a. Joanzie). "We've been nurturing this cool blend since January of 1996. The growth of the band has been better than we could've imagined." Joan and Mark have been writing and performing together since 1990, and have written well over 300 songs between them.
