Bio
Joe Keyes is equal parts front man, poet and band conductor. The Freehold, NJ, native found his orchestra in late 2009 in The Late Bloomer Band, a concoction of Baltimore-area musicians. The band takes audiences back to the days of Miles Davis and early P-Funk, when big bands were lead by strong forces of individuals. The band's brand of live improvisation and musical sophistication presents a different experience at every show. While Keyes draws inspiration from musical mentors Gil Scott-Heron and Sun Ra, The Late Bloomer Band brings a modern interpretation to funk, jazz, rock and a variety of other genres. The Late Bloomer Band's members, in their mid-20s, help keep 50-year-old Keyes young and come from locally established bands The Rez, Eat it Raw and At The Zoo. Having grown together musically, the band's polished tightness has landed collaborations and live shows featuring original Fishbone members Angelo "Dr. Madd Vibe" Moore and Norwood Fisher.
