Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc is a creative who seeks the odd and extraordinary to create a new thing, a sound, a song, a feeling, an idea. Joan of Arc is a project that began with singer songwriter Lara Taubman, inspired to start creating music later in her life as a way to heal herself as music had powerfully done for her all her life. Music was her home, her refuge and when she began to create music, her life’s calling, she heard the call, almost religious in fervor, to try and do with music for others as it had done for her. She wanted to make music to save people from their darkness by facing their darkness. She wanted to help people - and herself - not to be alone. 

Titling herself under the name Joan of Arc, Lara still desires to channel the  healing powers of music to her listeners. Joan of Arc is truth, grittiness, relentlessly real, angry, funny, tender and unexpected, fun, and funny. Since her third album The Gospel of Getting Free in 2024, she has explored her fascination with electronic music. She has since made the commitment to producing her own songs that are a combination of the folk singer songwriter storyteller with a vision to combine the vast possibilities of digital music. With a slightly unsavory and surprising twist, Joan of Arc is a world that defies genre.

Lara lives in her creative home, New York City, where she learned to make things by teachers of painting, art writing, music, beautiful objects and conceptual thinking. In the world that raised up musicians like Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Laurie Anderson, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Beastie Boys, and other creative, innovative and quirky, independent musicians like them, Joan of Arc finds her true essence in a city where the artist’s muse is the  sidewalk. 

Joan of Arc is a music project that embodies all the things Lara has learned to make in her life into multimedia musical vision.
