Songwriter, guitarist, painter, fiddler, slide player, eco-village member and believer in all things possible. Named 2016 Folk Alliance International Artist-in- Residence and signed to I Book Shows along with David Francey and Irish Mythen. His songs are being made into films.
He’ll surprise you and awaken the cynics. He’s plumbing for lyrical gold like a social archeologist. His songs are universal, his rhythm infectious and in concert, he is funny as hell one moment and transcendent the next. He lives in Ithaca NY, and tours regularly in the US, Ireland and Canada.
“Joe has that rare, genuine ability to communicate with, instruct, and entertain all ages. From toddlers to octogenarians, he turned on and tuned in everyone he came in contact with! The feedback during his three days here at the Fayetteville Public Library was overwhelmingly positive. As the headline artist of our 2014 Summer Reading Program Joe delivered top shelf instruction in the songwriting workshops, and he grabbed us all by the heart on stage during his final night’s performance. And he’s such a cool guy! What a treat. We were honored to have him, and are figuring out how we can bring him back next year!”
