Guitarist/Lead Vocalist/Telecaster fanatic Joey Vellucci started his performance career in 1982 about 1 month after starting out on a Fender electric guitar. Joey jumped right in and started writing songs and put a band together and started performing live in March of 1982 at the infamous Channel Club in South Boston, MA. After 28 years of performing live onstage and in the studio he can look back on a very respectable career that has taken him and his music from clubs to concerts, from radio to film scoring, from HBO to Showtime and from Soap Opera’s to Movie of the Week and ultimately to a major film by Stephen King. Joey Vellucci has played venues from Boston to San Antonio from the smallest little bar to the top Las Vegas Casino The Mandolay Bay, big arenas, theaters, floating barges, ships, ferries, steamboats, on the beach, strip clubs, strip malls, hotels, motels, race tracks, casinos, up-scale, low-scale, no-scale you name the place most likely Vellucci has performed there at one time or another over the course of the last 26 years of performing.
The Joey Vellucci guitar style is a blend of all styles of guitar at the same time. He is jazzy, bluesy, country, rock, swinging, funky, soulful, twanging, smooth and ripping all at the same time. He is as fast as one can get on the guitar or as sparse and airy as one can get. He blends all these styles into his own style of playing.
Joey Vellucci has written music that has been heard by millions of people on every continent of this world via television, film and radio This music has appeared on Television, on Showtime, HBO, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox Network, Cannes Film Festival, New York Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, as well as some small independent film projects. With all this exposure you would think he would be well known and signed to a decent label. NOPE!!! He is self contained, shy to toot his own horn however likes to make the guitar talk for him..
Joey Vellucci is an ASCAP registered composer/writer and has maintained a publishers contract with Heavy Hitters Productions in New York City.

A THOUGHT ABOUT GRATITUDE ...
"Live your life so that the fear of death can never enter your heart. When you arise in the morning, GIVE THANKS for the morning light. GIVE THANKS for your life and strength. GIVE THANKS for your food and for the joy of living. And if perchance you see NO REASON for giving thanks, rest assured the fault is in yourself."
~ Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee Indian Chief

Hi Joey, it is a custom job by Fred Moratta of the Repair Zone in San Diego. His line of guitars is "Naked Guitar" and he sets my Tele's up as Tele/Strat Hybrids. 5 position switch. I am endorsed by Seymour Duncan and I use Jazz in the neck, and Jeff Beck in the bridge. Hope this helped. Keep in touch my brother of the string, Patrick yandall
