BIOGRAPHY

Short Bio

Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Clapton: this is the musical universe where Joe Valeriano's voice and guitar are. He's at the top of the italian rock-blues music and he has been working for ten years with Kim Brown. He keeps on going his musical adventure by playing and singing in several music clubs where he gets deserved praise. Joe has been able to build his own space in such a difficult music scene as the italian one. There he can express his blues soul, supported by his feeling for his instrument - the unfailing Strato.
Joe is known mostly for his Blues performances, but Rock music has always played a very important role in his life and career. In the last decade his passion for bands such as Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains has led him to create two albums, Parmatown and Furious, where Joe's pure rock soul finally comes out.
As a solo artist he has produced four albums: "Elida", "Live" (a tribute to Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan), and the aforementioned "Furious" and "Parmatown". He has recorded and played with several artists like Grey Johnson, Willy Murphy, Lach, Kevin Montgomery & Pettibone, Dante Boccuzzi, Joe Colombo).
