Can Joann. 2002 - 2008

November 2010 Update!: New Songs Mastered and coming in the form of a FREE download-only album called Second Language! Release date is targeted for January 11, 2010!

Can Joann was a Chapel Hill based band formed in 2002. They played over 200 shows in clubs, houses, weddings, art galleries, fund-raisers, contests and crawfish cookouts. They played up and down the east coast from NYC to Miami and several spots in between. They released a home-recorded album in 2003, an EP in 2004, and a proper full length in 2006 (available at online stores including iTunes now). Two Videos were made with Can Joann songs w/o the band knowing: (1) & (2). Can Joann received some international press throughout the years. In late 2006, their song Indecision's Way was the most played song on the blogs according to the blog aggregator Elbo.ws. The influential website, Idolator stated this: "Today's elbo.ws Top 10 list includes three Can Joann tracks, with "Indecision's Way" on the No. 1 spot. Considering that Sufjan and the Hold Steady round out the top three, that's a big accomplishment, even in our tiny, tiny music-nerd world."

The band took an indefinite break in June 2008.
Joel is in graduate school. Ryan plays bass for North Elementary. Michel bought a house and is remodeling the hell out of it. Andrew moved to South Africa.

Can Joann had some incredibly wonderful times making music over the years. Thanks for the support.

Although the band took an indefinite break in June 2008 - There will be new mp3's posted in early 2010!
