Jo Wymer, a Grammy Nominee, Navy veteran and mother, as been writing Americana, Blues and Rock music for the past 14 years prior to which she was known in the jazz/blues world as one of the top singer/songwriters of those genres.

Once she reached the point of producing she went to Jon Leidersdorff at Lakehouse Music in Asbury Park, NJ who took her hidden, rock, material and helped Jo work it into some original, award winning tunes. Jo Wymer’s debut CD release titled “Living with Scars” (released June 2011) captures this sultry, powerhouse of an entertainer in full bloom. It is the view of an adult looking at emotions and their consequences and rewards. One particular song, “THAT KISS” is about Jo’s second husband and how you pay more attention to what you have going on in that second time around including that first kiss. It is delivered through an incredible music arrangement topped by lyrical magic brought to all via the vocals of this amazing singer/songwriter.
