My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/14/2007
Band Members: As far as band members?

I have played with many different musicians as part of many different bands. The one thing that I have always found to be true one-hundred percent of the time is that bands come and go. Despite this crazy fact you need to keep playing with whoever, whenever. So I guess my band members may one night consists of me with my trusty guitar and backing tracks and another on another night I may be part of a full band jam lineup.

Influences:

Pink Floyd, U2, The Funk Brothers, Rush, Yes, Genesis, Kiss, Marvin Gaye, Steely Dan, Curtis Mayfield, Earth Wind & Fire, Jackson Five, The Commodores, Traffic, Led Zepplin, Joshua Kadison, Joe Walsh, Incubus, Price, Freddie Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Chicago, Bobby Brown, Billy Joel, Allman Brothers, Tony Toni Tone, Tom Jones, The Who, Ralph Tresvent, Full Force, Kool and the Gang, Ozzy, Metallica, Neil Young, Nine Inch Nails, PM Dawn, Sherrif, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, The Police, Tavares, Vertical Horizon, Zapp, Bryan McKnight, The Beatles, and My Family.

Sounds Like: A Quick Note from Joe:
I Support Independent Musicians because they work every bit as hard on their music as anybody.

How can you help? Do as I do.

Buy their stuff
Go to their shows
Tell people about them

Remember - Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident and money takes wings. The only thing that endures is character.

In closing, I hope my music expresses a feeling of emotion to everyone who hears it. The worst thing would be for someone to listen to my music and not feel any emotion at all.

I truly enjoy hearing stories about how one of my songs has touched someone. But whether a person loves my music or hates it, at least my music got them to feel something.
