REVIEWS
“A singular talent with a spirit to match, Joe is someone you want to know.”
“I have been working with Joe and his colleagues for about five years. And he definitely gets five stars.
From the moment Joe steps into the room, it is clear you are in the presence of something rare. His voice doesn’t just fill the space— it transforms it. Rich, soulful, and effortlessly controlled, Joe blends technical mastery with raw emotional power in a way few performers can. And his colleagues are similarly accomplished. Be they lute players, pianists, or buglers, they are all extraordinary.
Joe’s versatility is incredible. He has performed for me everything from show tunes, spirituals, ballads, medieval music and good old rock and roll. Whatever he sings, he sings with a sincerity that resonates deep in his heart.
He is also adept at knowing exactly what you are looking for in terms of timing and program. I sketch out the outline and he connects all the dots. He has a great sense of humor and simply carries the show.
Finally, Joe is also unfailingly reliable and timely. He never disappoints.
A singular talent with a spirit to match, Joe is someone you want to know.”

“I cannot recommend Joe highly enough. He is an unbelievably talented musician with a rare ability to sing across genres and assemble exceptional musicians to match any style or occasion. I had the pleasure of watching him perform at opera nights for years, always impressed by his vocal power and musical sensitivity.
When my wedding was approaching, I reached out to see if he might know someone suitable for a more contemporary musical style. To my delight, Joe offered to perform himself—and not only that, he curated and assembled an outstanding band to fit the exact tone we were envisioning.
His performance during our ceremony was deeply moving and beautifully delivered, creating a truly unforgettable moment. The cocktail hour set that followed was vibrant and joyful, setting the perfect mood for an evening of celebration, dancing, and fun.
Joe and his band played every requested song flawlessly, while also choosing other pieces that fit our vibe so perfectly it felt like he had reached into our imaginations and brought our ideal soundtrack to life. His versatility is absolutely astounding—from opera to Irish ballads, rock classics to current hits, there seems to be no genre he can’t master.
Beyond his immense talent, Joe is incredibly professional—prompt, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. His dedication and passion for music shine through in everything he does. If you’re looking for someone to elevate your event with unforgettable music, Joe and his talented roster are the absolute best!”
