Joe Pollock

About Me

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------- “Genuine, honest stuff… substantially emotive and no phony baloney" -Paul Curreri----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------“With both Fahey roots and a youthful, untidy fuzz, Pollock’s songs skirt the world of nerdy instrumentalism refreshingly" -Devon Sproule----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------"In an overpopulated music scene of "Folkies" and "Bluegrassers," Joe Pollock brings a freshness to Charlottesville and beyond. Reminiscent of Bruce Cockburn and sounds of ambient groove mixed with rock and blues, this new and upcoming musician is certainly one to watch. -Jay Pun--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------"Soon, some goober kid passing himself off as a music reviewer will probably type up some nonsense describing Joe Pollock's music as "John Fahey meets Radiohead in John Hurt's turnip truck." What's important is that Pollock has stayed true to his music, and his growth over the last several years has been astounding. I sense great things to come." -Keith Morris------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------Profile edited with CricketSoda's Myspace Editor
