The Joe Harvard Band is more like an extended family. See the Members Blog!!
Influences
Basically anyone who can write a great song and got onto my radar screen in the past three decades has been an influence - garbage in, garbage out. I'm not shy about talking about them, though ... see the blog!
Sounds Like
The day before Graham Parsons died he played miniature golf with Jonathan Richman, and they discussed GP possibly playing on the first Modern Lovers album. That is how I'd love my band, and my records to sound: the Flying Modern Burrito Lovers. But from Egypt.
This page is for the Joe Harvard Band, of Asbury Park, NJ, as well as JH solo work. Originally from Jeffries Point, East Boston, singer and guitarist JH has played on records by Dinosaur, Jr., the Pernice Brothers, Throwing Muses, and on dozens of other major and indie label releases and recordings; as co-founder and former owner of Fort Apache Recording, he was an indie pioneer and spiritual midwife to hundreds more. More of that stuff in the blogs. Having worn many hats in the music world, the JH Band is a return to first loves: songwriting, recording and doing live shows with a kickass band of genius pirates, which he is happy as hell to have discovered in Asbury Park. See the Bio Blog for more info on members of the extended JH Band family as well as band history.

We got as high as 19 on Neil Young's Living With War website with our homemade video for "[How I Became A] Patriotic Pseudo Pacifist", which uses contemporary images to tell a true story about how Joe's late brother, Marine Lance Cpl Bobby Trainor, ended up in Vietnam, and the consequences."
Check out Joe's bio at the Boston Rock Storybook and Joe Harvard Live for a MySpace page dedicated to the great bands and performers Joe is lucky enough to sit in with.

Hey, I am credited for something I'm not sure I did. I'm not even sure what it is. That's okay. Sometimes the Chuckinator just... does things, and so they are. It's not my fault. I have little control.
