Shake it up: Joslyn Hampton developed her dynamic, powerhouse vocals by performing in stage plays, singing in church, and playing covers at weddings and clubs. When she was ready to create a new act, she teamed with her stepfather, touring guitarist Marty Chambers, to form Joslyn & The Sweet Compression, and in 2019 the band released its self-titled debut album. The 10-track funk and soul record has built a fan base with butt-shaking tunes like the horn-heavy “Honey, Be,” the vocally driven “What Did You Think Was Gonna Happen?” and the emotional yet humorous “If I Break It Down.”
