My name is Joe Roberts, I'm a Philadelphia-area
musician and performer, specializing in electric bass, Electric Upright
Bass, Australian didgeridoo, and
the Native American flute (among other things). I've
been playing and recording in the greater
Philadelphia area for nearly 20 years. I am also a card-carrying
"Wine Snob" and I'm one of the 2WineDudes.
For the last several years, my main gig has been laying
down the bottom (both bass and didgeridoo) for acclaimed original singer-songwriter Steve
Liberace, live and in the studio. Some career highlights with the
Steve Liberace Band:
Voted into the Top 5 Philly bands (out of hundreds
of local submissions) in the 2006 regional "Have A Nice Gig"
contest (sponsored by Saturn, Phily's Q102, & Bon Jovi); Performed at major Philadelphia venues including The Electric Factory, First Union Center /
First Union Spectrum (for Philadelphia Sixers, Wings, & Phantoms
sporting events), North Star Bar, and artist showcase Milkboy Coffee House;
Music featured on
Philadelphia's WXPN 88.5 FM.
