About Joe Oestreich

For twenty years I have toured the country in a beat up Ford Econoline as the bass player for Watershed. I have intimate knowledge of the deep-fried truck stop, the wipe-hands-on-pants rest area, and the unholy mixture of beer and bleach and piss that is the eau de rock club.

I also write and teach. My essays and short stories have appeared in Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Ninth Letter, Fourth Genre, Cimarron Review, Barrelhouse, Small Spiral Notebook, Passages North, Waccamaw, Pindeldyboz, and Backwards City Review. I've been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, honored by The Atlantic Monthly, and noted in The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007 and The Best American Essays 2008.

I'm currently writing a book about Watershed's long stretch in the music biz minor leagues.

He was running around the other night, but I don't think he got around to talking to any of you. Anyways, take care! I'm definitely going to try to come to the show in May. :) -Britt
