American singer-songwriter and activist Joan Baez was born on January 9, 1941 in Staten Island, New York. Known for her soprano voice, three-octave range, and distinct vibrato, she started as a folk singer but has since explored various genres including rock, pop, country, and gospel. Her influence helped propel Bob Dylan's early career. In 2017, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Joan Baez is the daughter of Albert Baez and Joan Baez Sr., younger sister of Pauline Marden, and older sister of Mimi Farina who is also a folk musician. She had a romantic relationship with Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s before marrying David Harris from 1968 to 1974. Together they have a son named Gabriel Harris.

Legendary singer, songwriter, activist and Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame inductee Joan Baez' brand new album Whistle Down The Wind . Produced by three-time Grammy Award winner Joe Henry and recorded over ten days of sessions in Los Angeles, Whistle Down The Wind gathers material by some of Baez's favourite composers. Whistle Down The Wind is Joan's first new studio album in a decade, since 2008's critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated Day After Tomorrow, which was produced by Steve Earle. Joan Baez remains a musical force of nature of incalculable influence. She marched on the front line of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King, shined a spotlight on the Free Speech Movement, took to the fields with Cesar Chavez, organized resistance to the Vietnam War, inspired Vaclav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic, saluted the Dixie Chicks for their courage to protest the Iraq war, and stood with old friend Nelson Mandela in London's Hyde Park as the world celebrated his 90th birthday. Joan's earliest recordings fed a host of traditional ballads into the rock vernacular, before she unselfconsciously introduced Bob Dylan to the world in 1963. Thus began a tradition of mutual mentoring that continues on Whistle Down The Wind, and which will reverberate long into the future across Joan's lifetime of recordings.
