Biography

Joe started playing guitar at age 8, playing in bars at 15 and became an area studio session player by the time he turned 18. He learned to play by ear and listened heavily to the riffs of Duane Allman, Pat Metheny, Allen Collins and David Gilmore. Grinding them together, he proceeded to form his own style.

Originally from Utica, New York, Joe moved to the Boston area in his early 20’s to “follow the music”. Forming and joining numerous bands, he’s played everything from Rock-n-Roll and Jazz Fusion, to Bluegrass and Country. Joe has worked with and/or opened for: Charlie Daniels, Willie Nelson, Marshall Tucker, Patti Loveless, Neil McCoy, Marty Stuart, The Byrds, John Hall (Orleans), Tom Hambridge, Bobby Stanton and many more great artists.

With some close friends, Joe formed his own band in the mid 90’s called “Cold Cold Heart”. They proceeded to tour the New England Country Music scene for much of the decade. Two original albums came from the project; “Prides Crossing” on Black Rose Records, and “Blue Collar Attitude” produced a few years later on an Indy label. Now living in the Nashville TN area, his passion for music continues.
