Mandolinist Joe Walsh plays with some of the best acoustic acts in New England, teaches a busy roster of guitar and mandolin students near his home in Portland, Maine, dodges questions about the Eagles' guitar player, and is continually searching for the perfect burrito. Originally from Minnesota, he moved to the northeast to enroll at the Berklee college of Music in Boston, MA, as the school's first mandolin student (and graduate). Since his arrival out east he helped start the modern string band Joy Kills Sorrow and worked with two of the finest bluegrass-based acts around in Northern Lights and the New England Bluegrass Band. These days he splits his time between two very fine groups, the Gibson Brothers and Scott Nygaard and Crow Molly, and teaches at a wonderful community music school in Yarmouth, ME, called 317 Main Street Community Music School.
