JoAnna James has the voice and power of a singer twice her age. She hails from St. Paul and now tours the country supporting her latest recording, "Desire". She belts out blues, rock and gospel, but can still get in tight and close for a steamy ballad. She was in the Morning Show studio recently to promote an upcoming show at the Fitzgerald Theater.

Songs performed: "Waiting So Long," "Dime-a-Dozen," and "No Ordinary Sunday."
