Joe Mac

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Y..alright. My name is Joe Mac and this is my page dedicated to getting people to listen to my songs and come to my gigs.I write many songs and have been known to play quite a few gigs. I write about all sorts of things, but in particular I'm a big fan of lyrics that have a bit of bite to them, quirky tunes and bluesy guitar solos. Hopefully you'll find some of these elements in my songs.

I'm always playing guitar, whether it's in front of some old men at a bar, jamming with the Joe Mac Band, or packing out venues with Dancing Lotus (Lincoln's only 7-piece hip-hop/blues/soul collective!) At present I've recorded two Joe Mac albums (one unreleased), played on two Dancing Lotus albums, and released a 4 track EP of The Joe Mac Band. I would love it if you took a listen to any of it!

I have presented a rock radio show on Siren 107.3 FM, and written reviews for Rockfeedback.com, Lincolnbands.com and Our Iron Lung music blog. Keep an eye out here for more developments/releases/gigs/rambling blogs.MY FIRST MUSIC VIDEO! ..GROW UP LET DOWN SWING.. ENJOY ;)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/5/2006
Band Members: Just Joe Mac, a pretty guitar and some lightning boots. On the new stuff, I'm helped out by Chris Yeardsley on Bass, Josh Cook on Drums and Nick Long (from Dancing Lotus) on violin.
Influences: I like loud glam stuff and clever folky stuff. Iggy Pop, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, as well as Elliott Smith, Bon Iver, Johnny Flynn, Two Gallants. Anything with soul, whether its dumb or not.
