Joe operates as a one-man band, playing either fully acoustically with just his guitar or with a full band sound achieved by layering electric guitar over live-looped keys and percussion. His novel folk originals are supplemented by a number of unique takes on popular songs from R&B, pop, punk, and alternative. Joe can adapt his setlist to fit a more relaxed, coffee-house setting, or to start bringing the energy of a room up before a heavier act.
