Live Reviews
“Joselyn & Don are a talented, authentic and fresh folk music voice.”
- Grand Annex Music Hall“
“Joselyn led with her amazing voice, on this night, beginning with her ukulele and later on the congas. Don, as a calming base, held everything down on guitar — acoustic and electric and backup vocals.

- Melina Paris, Angel City Culture Quest
“Not only did the audience love Joselyn & Don and their music, but they were such a joy for staff and techs to work with.
