When not on her bicycle, Joni Griffith can be found performing as an actor, instrumentalist, and vocalist.
An Iowa native, Joni first came to Minneapolis to complete her Bachelors in Vocal Performance from the University of Minnesota where she immersed herself in the vibrant performance scene of the Twin Cities, performing everywhere from bars to vineyards. She is a central member of Minneapolis theater company Mixed Precipitation as well as an associate artist with Combustible Company and The Birth Play Project.

Equally at home on the violin as with her voice, Joni enjoys performing as a theatrical vocalist, composer, voice over artist, and gigging musician. She sings, plays violin and musical saw with local ensembles, as well as with touring bands and musicians.
She is the vocalist and creator of Minneapolis-based jazz trio Joni Jane and the Midnight Sugar, with Willow Waters on guitar, and Drew Kellum on bass.
As a composer, Joni has written original music for Combustible Company’s production of A Midsummer Nights Dream, and composed original music for their productions of Monster Heart and The Tempest.
She has co-created several performance art pieces, blending music, physical theatre, text, and imagery – including Crone House, an immersive, site-specific piece exploring the archetype of the crone and the maiden in modern society, and Driftwomen which toured to Duluth and Indiana.
In the spring of 2019, she completed a solo bicycle ride across the United States of America, spanning almost 4,000 miles in three months. Many of her adventures can be found on her Youtube channel – a place where she seeks to fuse her love of music with her passion for cycling in a fun and educational manner.

She is constantly exploring and learning new musical techniques and genres, including recording dreamy indie pop music in her bedroom, but she specializes in classical voice and golden age musical theatre.
