Over the past two years, Joe Cardillo has been developing a following by winning over fans through playing energetic shows all around the United States. Joe creates a unique combination of live loops using percussive beats by thumping his guitar, laying down the chords, and playing bass lines (using the octave guitar pedal). In addition, he sings the melody while often times looping vocal harmonies. Perhaps the most unique aspect of his show is Joe's ability to open up the songs by picking up any of his four saxophones and playing soulful solos with the loops in the background. Joe's sound can be described as a melting pot of Howie Day, Jayson Mraz, Jack Johnson, and Dave Matthews, topped off with tasteful saxophone solos. Throughout his music career, Joe has opened up for acts such as Sister Hazel, Dispatch, Carbon Leaf, and The Pat McGee Band and worked with Lakewest Studios producer Jack Gauthier (Cardinal Direction, Dispatch, Pete Francis, Rich Price).
Joe has brought a whole new meaning to a “solo” act. In fact, when listening to his CD, numerous people have commented their disbelief in one person being able to produce the array of instruments and vocals without pre-recorded tracks. In order to truly appreciate and understand his style, a fan must see him play live at a show. The interaction and relationship Joe employs with his movement of tapping the various floor pedals to create loops and different sounds, while simultaneously playing his instruments and singing provides the audience with a voluminous sound and a distinctive live show that will make them come back for more.
