Joe Worrel, guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and bass guitarist, started playing guitar at age 7. By the time he was 15 he was performing over 250 dates a year at state fairs, legion halls, VFW’s and dim lit barrooms. Joe has played bass for numerous touring acts and even played bass for a short time with CMA award winner Martina McBride. As bassist and back-up vocalist for the Cross Plaines Band, they received the award for top new country band 2004, from the (NACMAI) North American Country Music Assoc Intl. Joe was also selected with nine other solo artists for the "Lasalle Bank More Music tour 2005" the tour included a compilation CD with over 25,000 copies being distributed throughout the United States. He has shared the stage with: Merle Haggard, Toby Keith, Blake Shelton, Phil Vassar, Lonestar, Tracy Byrd, Pam Tillis, Chris Ledoux, David Allen Coe, Hal Ketchum and other top recording artists. Joe was also the lead singer with the Southern Exposure Band for over eight years on their Miller beer sponsored national tour. You might have also seen him picking bluegrass at festivals and barn jams in the north Georgia mountains or even in a Chicago blues bar or Irish pub. His solo acoustic performances have taken him from coast to coast on several Jim Beam sponsored college tours. Joe can be found performing with The last Free Exit Band or with the alt-country Band Fistful of Nickels most every night. Bring yourself out to a gig and hear a wide variety of pleasing tunes. It might be country, classic rock, bluegrass or it might be something you’ve never heard but want to hear again. Joe’s CD, "Take me with you" was released in June 2006 and can be purchased on itunes. Joe performs his music for anyone who will listen, telling lies and bringing truth to the many myths about the evils of music and the damage it can do. Be warned, listening to Joe’s music can make you drink too much whiskey, dance like a fool, sell your worldly possessions for vintage musical instruments and give you feelings of heartache, happiness, and the overwhelming urge to hoop and holler.Ladies and gents, boys and girls this is Joe Worrel... -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- START SHOPPING CART TO CD BABY --
