"Joan As Police Woman is the brainchild of singer/multi-instrumentalist Joan Wasser. Born in Biddeford, Maine, Wasser attended Boston University, with a focus on violin. She built an admirable rep on Boston's heavily competitive music scene during the '90s. By 2002, now in New York, Wasser formed her trio with a revolving cast including drummers Ben Perowsky and Parker Kindred and bassists Rainy Orteca, Timo Ellis, and Tyler Wood. … Wasser has collaborated with Jeff Buckley, Sheryl Crow, Rufus Wainwright, Elton John, the Scissor Sisters, and Lou Reed, among others" (Phil Ramone and Danielle Evin, "Dog Ears Music," 12/11/09).
"The title track of To Survive is a musing on Wasser's mother, who died during the creation of the album" (WNYC Soundcheck).
