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.

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.
