FIRST RUNNER UP 2007 ATLANTA BLUES CHALLENGE ACOUSTIC SOLO/DUO
PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER 2008 ATLANTA BLUES CHALLENGE ELECTRIC BAND DIVISION
This blues man grew up on the south side of Chicago, down the street from Muddy Waters. He was influenced by live performances of James Brown, The Temptations, The Jackson Five, and blues great Junior Wells. In 1980 he enrolled in the ALR Music School where he studied with Eric Rastus. Since coming to Atlanta, he has worked every venue where the blues are being played. He has backed such luminaries as Chick Willis, Sandra Hall and Little Jimmy Reed, and has opened for Chicago blues greats Pinetop Perkins and Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin. Most of the time, however, you can find him fronting his own band at places like --BLIND WILLIE'S -- NORTHSIDE TAVERN -- DARWIN'S -- FAT MATT'S -- MADDY'S -- RAY'S KILLER CREEK -- SHORTY'S -- TWO URBAN LICKS to name a few.
Also many festivals including the -- HOWLIN' WOLF FESTIVAL -- MONTREAUX JAZZ FESTIVAL-- CATFISH BLUES FESITVAL -- AUBURN FESTIVAL -- SKATERAIDE FESTIVAL
well, it's been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, 'I Remember', is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of "Now Is The Time" in exchange for a valid email address. "Now Is The Time" is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote about hope for America's future, and the world.
we've got a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what's your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
Thanks a million Chicago Joe for joining our ministry of Blues. It's all about peace, love, understanding, and GROOVE! Hope to perform for you sometime. Enjoyed your tunes. Wishing you the very best in Blues and life! -Big Daddy
