Ms. Beretta began singing professionally in San Francisco in the 1950s, earning raves and a devoted following with appearances at the Fallen Angel (with Johnny Mathis), the Hungry i, the Purple Onion and other clubs.  Moving to NYC, she appeared in regional  theatre and played "The Governor" in Tommy Tune's PBIE Award-winning  off-Broadway production "The Club." She also played highly acclaimed and extended engagements at Upstairs at the Duplex, The Showplace, Bon Soir, Downstairs at the Upstairs, Reno Sweeney's and Brothers & Sisters as well as at Town Hall and Carnegie Hall.

In 1978 she decided she didn't want to sing in public anymore. During her singing career in the 50s, 60s and 70s, Joanne had a  parallel career as an award-winning designer and floral  decorator.
