Here and Now

Music is the language of the soul.

About Me

All music written, arranged and performed by me (Joel) with the exception of drums and bass on Christine played by my sons Jesse and Randy. Recording and mixing by Cory (another son and graduate of Full Sail Recording Arts College) on his home studio. The music I listen to and am influenced by cover almost every genre, so the music I write is also varied. I have been playing the guitar for 35 years and just started writing and recording last year. More to come. Thanks for listening.
