I am the lead singer in "The Doors Experience: Tribute band of The Doors and Jim Morrison.
"*Beaver resident Joe St. Esprit has launched a Doors tribute band, The Doors Experience.
See their second ever show, this Wednesday, at TJ’s Hideaway in Evans City.
Like many of us, St. Esprit got through some tough times in his early teenage years by listening to the lyrical wisdom of the Doors’ Jim Morrison.
“That is why every time I go on stage as Jim Morrison, I will be putting in everything I’ve got,” St. Esprit said. “The integrity of the vibe, emotion, groove, energy, spirit and atmosphere (of the Doors) will never be compromised.”"
-Scott Tady of the Beaver County Times
Well...I have been in several local bands. All of them helped me become the musician I am today, and for that I am extremely greatful. The names of the bands were/are; Saint-Esprit, AudioGraffiti, Evil Olive, & Segue/Kalon.
Likewise, I have worked and befriended many key musicians and mentors, all of them also shaped me as I am today. Their names are; My mom, my father Joseph St. Guy St. Esprit Jr.(rip), Jeff Johnston(rip), Ruth Lesko(rip), George Lesko(rip), Carol St. Esprit(rip) Jim Reinard(rip), Aaron Khun, Andrew Moulthrop, Allen Johnson, Adam Mamula, Eric Belcastro, Reza Ziai, Ed Guiher, Chris Moulthrop, Mit Ash just to name a few.
For these friends and family I am greatful for the music they have inspired inside of my dreams and the tools & knowledge to chase them.
