About Me

PRO HARMONICA PLAYER/VOCALIST, SMALL BUSINESS & MUSIC PROMOTER, MARKETING FOR RAXX ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX (Brampton,Ont),AMATEUR SKATEBOARDER, FATHER.My name is Joe Pinto, AKA "LITTLE JOE" of "Little Joe and the Werewolves". I'm a career musician specializing in Harmonica,vocals, and song writing. I'm also a business marketer, music promoter, and graphic artist. I grew up in Toronto and Mississauga and I'm now based in Georgetown Canada with my gorgeous girl Karen and gnarly kids Loren and Bailey.Some of the best gigs are the ones that pay the worst. A couple of nights that really stand out for me was being complimented by King Biscuit Boy (Richard Newell) and Sonny Rhodes who were in the audience at a couple of my shows. Nothing beats the feeling of having someone you really respect in the industry tip their hat to you especially when you are struggling.I've been playing blues since age 12 or 35 years now but I also really love Rockabilly, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Reggae, Ska, almost everything. There is good and bad music in every genre including Blues. There are also good and bad people from every country on the earth and thats why war sucks.SKATEBOARDING is really the #1 love of my life because it's a complete feeling of freedom and so much fun. It's a big part of my lifestyle. When I think back to the heavy drug and booze days I should just have been skateboarding. It's a better rush and better for you. I got back on a board at 40 and I hope to be at least riding a small bowl or bombing a hill at 70. My grandfather rode a 10 speed into his late 80s and he could beat young kids riding up hill when he was a senior citizen.It's true, If you don't have your health, you don't have anything. Get back on your skateboard, your bike, or just take your family for a walk, you'll feel better.
