The picture to the left is a picturesque view of the North Atlantic from the shore bluff in front of Joy's home.

Seventeen-year-old Joy Norman is from St. Bride's, a small community on the southwest corner of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula. Growing up by the Atlantic Ocean on the 'Cape Shore', Joy was exposed to a variety of Irish and folk-based music.

When Joy was thirteen years old, she performed for a group of naturalists who were visiting the province and nearby Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve. The group was lead by Jerry Walsh.

Both Joy Norman and Jerry Walsh co-wrote "Cape Shore Lady"
