Joe is the unsung hero of the band. Behind the scenes, writing catchy riffs or planning our next move, Joe’ll drop in out of nowhere and blow us away an amazing set and then disappear like a thief in the night. Joe pushes the band forward musically and psychologically all on the DL. When you see him next, give him some props… he deserves it.
