unbelievable, been following the blues since 62 as a 6 year old. Great too see the blues spirit staying alive
Been following Joe for about seven yrs now...nothing he can't do with a guitar! He's the best around, and deserves to be in the same category with Clapton, SRV, Hendrix, & any of the other greats that were his early influences. Joe is very professional, humble, approachable, extremely talented & giving. Unbelievably nice person & the type of role model that young people need. It's really been a treat to turn people on to Joe's music. His studio recordings are great, but to see him live is a whole different experience...he never disappoints! He was born to do this...it's so evident in his performing...the versatility in his singing & playing....he's totally committed to communicating his feelings to the point that you "live" it with him. If you haven't seen him...GO...& TAKE SOME FRIENDS....THEY'LL BE GLAD YOU DID...AND SO WILL YOU.
My wife and I (Nancie) first enjoyed Joe at Nathan P. Murphy's in Springfield in 2005 with another couple. His show that night was absolutely outstanding!!! We have followed his career for the last four years and followed his tours along with going to his shows in Missour and Oklahoma. Wish he had more here to go to, but he is definitely a performer beyond any live ones I have ever seen! Keep going Joe, you are the man!!!!!
Myson and I saw J.B. at a small amphitheatre venue in south Florida and it was the finest live guitar playing I've heard in my 59 yrs. on this planet ! I am eagerly looking forward to his next visit ! Oh, by the way, his band was tight as a drum ,as well.
