Информация об исполнителе
Wasser began her career during her studies at Boston University where she was an early admittance student studying with the renowned Yuri Mazurkevich, who himself had studied under Russian violin virtuoso David Oistrakh. She played with the Boston University Symphony Orchestra before joining local bands the Lotus Eaters, Hot Trix with Mary Timony, and the Dambuilders.

During her time in the Dambuilders, Wasser first began to make a name for herself in the indie rock world and where she developed her aggressive style of playing, which lead to work outside of the group. In the late 1990s, Wasser began to explore more musical paths than those limited only to violin playing, adding guitar and keyboard parts to the Dambuilders recordings, singing vocals, as well as co-writing several songs. Examples of these new explorations can be heard on the Dambuiders Against the Stars: On both "Luster" and "Itch It", Wasser wrote the lyrics and handled the lead vocals. Due to disillusionment, creative malaise, and a need to expand their respective musical horizons, the Dambuilders disbanded in October 1997. In May of the same year, her lover, rumored fiance and one-time bandmate, Jeff Buckley, drowned accidentally, in Memphis, Tennessee. Reeling in the wake of these events, Wasser sought comfort in the company of old friends, Dave Shouse and Michael Tighe and their band Those Bastard Souls. Her comfort was short lived as Those Bastard Souls, as well as Black Beetle, another band she formed with Tighe, broke up within two years.

The end of Black Beetle brought the beginning of Wasser's work as a solo artist and the creation of a new band, Joan as Policewman. Wasser formed the group in New York City in 2002. The group includes songwriter/vocalist Wasser on violin, keyboard, and guitar; Ben Perowsky on drums, percussion, backing vocals, and sound production; and Rainy Orteca on bass, and backing vocals. Other musicians working with the group have included Maxim Moston and Charlie Burnham. The group has self-released recordings in 2004 and 2005.

In December of 2005, Wasser signed a distribution deal with British indie label, Reveal Records, which released a 7" single as well as re-released Wasser's debut EP. A full length recording, Real Life, is due to be released in 2006.
