Born in Indiana, raised in Illinois, Americana singer songwriter Curt Joa now enjoys life with his family up in Wisconsin. Like the man in his song Unfinished Songs, "he had always wanted to be a songwriter but it was a distant dream." He had written a couple of things and had a few lines and ideas, but never really got too far.
Then a couple years ago, he got to play two of his songs for some people at an open mic. The reaction he got fired him up and he has been putting more effort into his songwriting ever since.
On his first CD, also called Unfinished Songs, Joa writes and sings about love gone right and wrong, about old memories and getting old, about traveling and loneliness, about songwriting and the sky.
Now at work on a second one, he says, “I’m no spring chicken. But I want to use whatever time I have left to keep writing songs.”
