Three sets starting at 8:30 PM at Local Edition, inside the historic Hearst Building in downtown San Francisco. 21 +. No Cover. "Love yourself. Be true to yourself. Everything else is just background noise." Joyce Lee is more than a singer-songwriter—she’s a force of nature, a true testament to resilience, passion, and the relentless pursuit of authenticity. From her early days singing in church choirs and mastering classical piano, Joyce’s musical journey took a bold turn at the age of 16 when she discovered her deep connection to rock 'n' roll. Despite facing skepticism and a lack of support from friends and family, her determination led her to Los Angeles, where she spent years perfecting her craft, driven by the belief that music was her calling. But Joyce's story isn’t just one of musical ambition—it's a story of unwavering strength in the face of adversity. A devastating bilateral arm injury left her unable to play an instrument for several years, forcing her to confront the unthinkable. Yet, in true Joyce fashion, she refused to be silenced.
