About Me

Hi. I'm Joe. I'm a music junkie. Listening to, writing, playing, and sharing music is a huge part of my world. Music is the gift that keeps on giving. And there's always something I haven't heard. I've played guitar in bands for 26 years. I've played in Atlanta bands for the last 12 years- on and off. I've won 2 jingle contests.(www.jtgimplosion.com for jingles) The bands I've played lead guitar for are: Star Collector, King Friday, JTG Implosion, and Gonzalez. The shows listed in the gig section are all Pinx shows with my good friends Adam MacIntyre and Jim O'Kane in which I play bass guitar...not lead. Different. Below are vids mostly from IPO 2006- again at Vinyl, and one from a Gonzalez show in Columbia, S.C. at the Art Bar. Enjoy the songs and I hope to add different/new songs soon. Thanks for checking in!Here's some video of me playing lead guitar in Gonzalez:Here I am playing bass in The Pinx at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta from March '08!
