Born in New York, Joe grew up as a multi-instrumentalist, and was cutting his teeth on Jazz at an early age. He later played in Country, Rock, Metal and Pop bands, and even worked on commercial jingles for a time, giving him an extensive vocabulary to play with. His true calling, however, rests in the guitar and in the timeless blues and blues-rock classics of his heroes. Over the years he has played all over the country to thousands of people, and played with big names, local legends and more. Now residing in Cincinnati Ohio, Joe enjoys playing in both his Solo show as well as in his own Band for as many people as possible.
