Joe Algeri - Jack & the Beanstalk

About Me


I SING in multiple takes and prefer to double track. I play GUITAR badly but pretty good in the key of G. My favourite guitar is a Rickenbacker 12 string and this tends to get certain boys really excited. I like to WRITE SONGS and RECORD them in unusual ways. I love analogue sounds but these days I record onto ProTools. I always say that its 1/2inch reel-to-reel as this sounds much cooler and gets certain boys really excited.

My band is called JACK & THE BEANSTALK. I've played in THE ROCKEFELLERS, THE JOE ALGERI EXPERIENCE, JOE ALGERI & THE LEE HAZLEWOOD EXPERIENCE, STONEMASONS, & THE SUMMER SUNS. I speak Italian, a little Swedish and can order beer and hit on chics in 7 other languages. I like girls. I've always had great hair. I've released records and played crap gigs in every corner of the globe, I'm huge in Finland (a fan base of about 300,000... no, make that half a million fans).

Some people have called me a genius, some say I'm funny, most think I'm just a wanker. I'm bored now, thanks for dropping in.


Si Parla Italiano
