Joe has used a variety of players to flesh out his band. The most constant presence has been Claudia Chopek (violin/vocals). Other players include drummers Stephen Chopek, Jorge Petruz, Sean Patton, Marc Sacco, Joe Majestro, Rich Pagano, bass players Keith Hartel, Tony Shanahan, Tom Condon and guitarists Steve Conte and Eric Schenkman. For the more recent recordings I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Billy Atwell of AMP AUDIO for his multi-instrumental and production expertise...the guy is a one man powerhouse!
Influences
Pete Townshend, Mike Scott, Nick Cave, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen(jersey boys can't help it :-), Cat Stevens, Bowie, many many more.
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." —Albert Einstein ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Joe Condiracci has been performing in the NY/NJ music scene for a few years now. A life-long Jersey boy, Joe is originally from Sayreville, later moving to New Brunswick before arriving at his current home base of Hoboken, NJ.
Joe's songs range in tone from the haunting introspection of "Angel", to the chiming pure pop of "Touch," with a healthy dose of the grey area that falls in between. Dealing primarily with the dangerous terrain of interpersonal relationships, Joe investigates, scours, tests, and illustrates the multifaceted experiences associated with that crazy little thing called love...both the rush, and the seemingly inevitable downside.
Spirit - a spiritual gnosis or knowledge - also rings consistently throughout Joe's work. His powerful voice and superior range bring alive an emotional landscape, where a solid sense of one's Spirit is the only truly reliable compass. Influenced by the likes of Pete Townshend, Jeff Buckley, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Cave, Mike Scott, REM, Wilco, Cat Stevens and Van Morrison, many of Joes songs fit in with this varied but unified tradition of truth through song.
Love is key it is salvation, and it is as old or as new as Cole Porter, Nick Cave or Hiledegaard Von Bingen. And songs such as Joe's There Will Be Love illustrate that belief clearly.
In the spring of 2002, Joe's work came to the attention of legendary producer Tom Dowd, with whom Joe began a recording project. Sadly, Tom quickly fell too ill to complete it, and passed away a few months later. It was, however, a life-changing experience for Joe, who admits that, "it's not every day you get that kind of validation." Toms nod gave Joe a renewed sense of purpose which he carries with him to this day. A heartfelt thank you goes to Tom Dowd with every sounded note.
An articulate observer, an insightful analyst, a slamming singer, a spiritual seeker...at the end of the day it is Joe's emotional honesty that seals the deal,whichever end of reality's spectrum he happens to be exploring.
