I've heard Nick Drake, and John Fahey most, I'll stay out of it...
“Genuine, honest stuff… substantially emotive and no phony baloney" -Paul Curreri
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“With both Fahey roots and a youthful, untidy fuzz, Pollock’s songs skirt the world of nerdy instrumentalism refreshingly" -Devon Sproule
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In an overpopulated music scene of "Folkies" and "Bluegrassers," Joe Pollock brings a freshness to Charlottesville and beyond. Reminiscent of Bruce Cockburn and sounds of ambient groove mixed with rock and blues, this new and upcoming musician is certainly one to watch. -Jay Pun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Soon, some goober kid passing himself off as a music reviewer will probably type up some nonsense describing Joe Pollock's music as "John Fahey meets Radiohead in John Hurt's turnip truck." What's important is that Pollock has stayed true to his music, and his growth over the last several years has been astounding. I sense great things to come." -Keith Morris

"college perk" really went to extremes in coming up with an excuse to cancel your show. i guess that's at least considerate of them. funny though. i called today and nobody knew anything about a fire....
Hey Joe I miss you guys too... dont get on Myspace much so lets chat on the Facebook! I am getting ready to go to Vegas for a week so lets catch up after then :)
Joe, I'm afraid to ask because what if it isn't true, but I hear that you're opening for Matt Curreri in a month. That true? If you don't know, then it probably is true, so don't worry, and I'm sure that it will certainly happen if you do know, which you do, probably. Let me know. I think it is bad for such things to only be gossiped about without confirmation, right?
