♫ Joseph Baginski! ☺

About Me


Born in a leaky hole, with a 50 year old 3 string acoustic guitar. Things just went there ways from there. it suddenly became more then bad one string covers. Baginski found his calling other then the toilet. The real thrashing had begun! The music writing has gone on for several years, while playing acoustic/electric shows for nearly as long. the sound is such a hard one to label. Call it what you will, One thing for certain, it is different from most of the rest. Guaranteed to entertain to the fullest extent. One of The most interesting concepts about the music has to be the fact that Baginski plays guitar upside down. Born in a right handed world things just worked out that way. He didn't even realize he was playing wrong for quite some time, So everything he knows was learned upside down. Peoples heads turn in amazement when they see this. Get ready to be next, Welcome!
"When it comes to the music of Joseph Baginski, there are many aspects within its realm. Several layers of character hidden under the barriers of sound.This man brings a no nonsense approach to his work. His character is a testament of what true music is all about. The fact that the dude plays upside down is mind boggling enough in its own right, yet there is so much more to it then that. What also catches my attention is the unorthodox method of guitar playing Baginski utilizes. A lot of this stem's into the fact that it's coming from an upside strum, but Baginski knows his stuff, ask this man to hit any note, he responds with a sharp down under strum, giving the guitar scale a whole new look, this guy can play, bottom line. Another element that jumps at you is the lyrics. These aren’t your typical she left me now I’m sad and angry or I love you and I want the whole world to know words that have been rehashed a million times over. These are rich, pure words of underlying emotion. Words that need to be examined several times over just to figure out part of the meaning. He is a strong poet just as much as he is a musician. That’s a combination the music landscape hasn’t laid its eyes upon in a long, long time. Aside from seeing him perform his own attention grabbing array of music, I have seen him in several bands and music projects where he either sang, played guitar or bass. Baginski stole the show hands down on every occasion, even though they weren’t solely his pieces of work. His unique style and way of doing things is just simply too hard to ignore. Get used to hearing his name. It’s just a matter of time before it becomes household."
