Loose, funky grooves and smooth vocals. Incendiary guitar playing and lyrics that you can’t forget. Raised in Memphis, TN, Joe now does his thing based out out of Ft. Collins, Colorado. He earned his recording and performing credentials with Memphis’ Blues Rock Queen Reba Russell. After playing with Reba for five years, Joe took on the challenge of starting his own group, Minivan, which became a staple of the Memphis roots rock scene. He also took gigs with Memphis blues artists Earl the Pearl, Billy Gibson, and Big Joe Turner (bassist for Albert and B.B. King). Joe has shared stages with Charlie Hunter, Tower of Power, and James Cotton. It’s mostly blues, R&B, rock & roll, soul, and funk – the brilliant creations of African-American artists which most modern popular music is based on today. This is what inspires West Side Joe & The Men of Soul to write their material.
