1. Where are we talking from today?  I am Joe The Bluesman, based out of Las Vegas NV but am currently in the Little Rock area. I am retired from my career in construction management and now travel the USA in my RV. This has the upside of being mobile, but can be limiting on committing to some music opportunities. 2. How did you get involved in music?  I have been aware of music as long as I remember. I remember when I was a little kid on our family vacation in the car and being the one to choose the radio station. Back then a kid could be in the back seat and lean over to the radio on the dash...no seat belts or anything!  But somewhere around like the third grade, I started playing the violin, back when schools had music programs.  I played orchestra stuff until I was a teen, and discovered rock n roll. I moved on to drums, did that in drum and bugle corps and the sort. I was never very good so I went onto the guitar when I was about 14 or so. After 14 it was on to playing

Well spiritually I believe I was a tribe leader in my past life and I was one of the greatest to ever do it, so naturally, in this life, I was gonna get into music again. Lol but, for those of you who don't believe in all that stuff, I started doing music because it was in my blood. My father is an amazing musician who plays 4 different instruments, so I've been singing and being creative musically since I was about 4 years old. It wasn't until high school though that I actually started recording. I had gotten with a group of about 6 other students and we started to meet after school every day to rap and record together on a computer mic and a program called acid pro lol. Ever since then I've been going strong! I love music and I love creating it. 3. Can you describe your music? My music is ver

EPR Artists Radio 1. Where are we talking from today? Portland. 2. How did you get involved in music? I’ve been involved in music from a young age. My mother was always a huge creative influence on me, and being from Nashville , music was always around us. I had a strong pull towards bluegrass music since my mother’s family is all deep-rooted in Appalachia. I turned to roots music at a young age, singing in church and gospel choirs. As I got older I became fluent in rock n’ rol l and picked up a guitar at age 10. I’ve played ever since, mostly self-taught. From musical theater to covering the Grateful Dead, I have a diverse and lengthy resume. 3. Can you describe your music? I would describe my music as roots-based folk. I take great influence from Americana traditional folk as well as Appalachian bluegrass . My styling represents the training I have had, in both jazz and rock. My music is both rhythmically inclined and lyrically intricate. 4. Music wise, what ar
