I was blown away when I first heard Joe perform Last Stand.  I likened its passionate poetry to the gut-wrenching songs that captivated me during various Grassy Hill Kerrville (Texas) New Folk Competitions.  I identified with the “call to action” urgency of its message. 

Joe’s music ranges from a “country rock” tempo as in Wild Card to beautiful, mellow, sweet sounds, as in Dad’s Keys.  His music sometimes brings tears to my eyes.  His “pure fun and excitement” compositions compel me to dance (in body or imagination) to my heart’s desire!  Joe’s presence and presentation often remind me of the exhilarating energy and versatility of Garth Brooks.
