About Me

Louisville has much to offer musically, but nothing so poignant and reflective of the bluegrass’ musical folklore as singer-songwriter Joe Manning- DJ Kim Sorise, LEO Weekly

[Manning’s] deep voice is rugged and weary, an uncommon beauty unafraid of exposure and judgment. – Peter Berkowitz, Courier Journal

There's nothing hurried about Joe Manning’s music. It unfolds leisurely but intently, a slow burn snaking its way into your heart. –Jeffrey Lee Puckett, Louisville Courier-Journal
