In this solo performance, Joe will be performing songs from his upcoming full length release (currently untitled). There will be an improvised nature to the song arrangements, treating the audience with a never-heard-or-played-before aspect to the show. Joe's goal is to "bathe" the audience with an underscore of sound that accompanies the stories within his music. Close your eyes, and watch your imagined internal movie.
