CJA

Classical crossover group CJA (pronounced see-jay) consists of Joanne Jolee (vocals and keyboard), and her daughters, Leiticia (vocals and violin) and Krystle (vocals and cello). CJA's musical style is an alchemic blend of European pop, fused with the likes of J.S. Bach and Scarlatti, Celtic folk songs, traditional Irish fiddling and spiritual and poetic influences, as well as disco, opera and techno-industrial elements. In 2007 the band appeared on the Fox realty show, "Next Great American Band" in Las Ve-gas as one of 60 finalists selected from over 10,000 other bands. CJA was nominated for "Best Female Band" at the Arizona Infusion Music Awards in 2001 and was named "Best Pop Band in Arizona" as part of the Dream-to-Reality Artists Awards program in 2002. CJA has appeared on Arizona TV-12 and TV-3, has performed the national anthem live at events such as the Coors Monster Trucks and Jet Cars Show (ESPN) and at NCAA men's basketball games (Fox Sports), and has given concerts at Worldport International Music Festival, the Scottsdale Festival of the Arts, the Arizona Cotton Festival, the Arizona State Fair, the Fiesta Mall, Alice Cooperstown, Cliff Castle Casino, and many more.
