The following information is for the casual passerby because it's the kind of thing you're supposed to let people know about if you sing, play guitar, make records and perform:
I was nominated as an artist for a Latin Grammy in 2001 for Lara & Reyes' CD "World Jazz"
I received a Grammy award for co-producing the CD "La Musica de Baldemar Huerta" by Freddy Fender in 2002.
I have two solo albums, an EP entitled "ill-equipped" and an LP called "colours and sound" that are part of the Bedlamb Records discography. They were both self-produced.
I perform and record with two groups: Buttercup and Mitch Webb and The Swindles.
I perform solo on occasion and as a guitarist with singer-songwriters Salim Nourallah, Hilary York and Patricia Vonne.
I've engineered and mixed several other recordings for other artists such as Marcus Rubio, Cartographers, The Cheats and Jeannette and Richard.
For more booking information you should contact me via this page or email me at joereyes@myway.com
And for anyone who actually has met me or knows me, well, i don't ever talk about any of that stuff.
Thanks for stopping by,
Joe

I found a Mania album featuring an 8 by 10 black and white glossy of the band (autographed) INCLUDING individual pictures of each of the extremely attractive players. I do hope you still have that pink and black spandex jumpsuit with the chest cut out. That is so awesome. Your junk must have been Screaming for Vengeance.
