Wednesday, August 23 - 8PM - $10
Raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, the son of a professional opera singer mother and a "lazy genius" dad, Joe gravitated towards the family piano at the age of 12. He learned to bang out a tune in order to amuse friends and family, but soon learned that musical skill offered other more exciting benefits. He developed an insatiable love of music - from the melodic genius of Elton John and the Beatles to the lyrical complexity of Dirty South hip-hop heroes like Outkast - and soon began penning original songs. In 2001, he was named Singer/Songwriter of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards. Signed to Atlantic in early 2002. We're happy to welcome Joe back for his second show here.
