Angela Jossy and Deborah Page will play McCabe’s American Music Café tonight. Bobble Tiki jumped inside acoustic popster Jossy’s noggin.

BOBBLE TIKI: What do you really enjoy about making music?

ANGELA JOSSY: Ever since I was a kid I’ve been influenced by music â€" the great mood enhancer.  I used to say I had a good enough voice to be in a choir but not good enough to be a soloist.  Then I went through a tough time in my life, and Alanis Morrissette started singing songs that seemed to come from my very own heart. I would turn up Jagged Little Pill and wail along with her as a release of my sorrow and pain. It was brilliant therapy! I knew this was my calling because it felt so good. I wanted to make other people feel good too. I prayed to God to give me a voice and something to say. He must have been listening that day because my voice began to change from choir girl to rock star.  Soon new songs were flooding my brain like a download from the great beyond. It’s been like that ever since.   

TIKI: Who’s your favorite Duran Duran member and why?

JOSSY: Nick Rhodes â€" I’m always a sucker for a hot guy.

TIKI: What’s your guilty pleasure?

JOSSY: Dancing with reckless abandon, of course!
