Guitarist. Singer. Songwriter. Joe Bloom smoothly and masterfully adapts to each of these roles, weaving them into an elaborate tapestry of a career, showcasing the wide variety of attitudes and styles by which an artist can be inspired.


First and foremost, Joe is a songwriter. He has a passion for creating music as a means to construct a sincere and beautiful embodiment of life experiences. Though his original repertoire bridges acoustic, rock, punk, and blues styles, Joe's songs always deliver an insightful and honest way of looking at the world.


To serve his creative drive, Joe developed his instrumental and vocal ability. His level of proficiency on the guitar is a testament to the intricate and varied directions he aspires to in his compositions. In addition to guitar, Joe has studied various other instruments to enable himself to fulfill his artistic vision.


Joe has been described as a dynamic and soulful singer, a masterful guitarist, an inspired songwriter, and an enigmatic bandleader. He has conceived, organized, and performed with numerous local and regionally successful bands, including So Called Heist, Joe Bloom and the Gunslingers, Julaeli, and According to Hoyle.


The last few years have seen a shift in focus in Joe's music, beginning with solo acoustic performances in 2006, followed closely by the release of the first volume of his "Journals" series of solo recordings. With the passage of time, Joe's identity as a singer-songwriter has become increasingly defined, and his last release, Journals: Vol. III, embodies the relaxed vibe of an artist who has found his niche.


Joe's sporadic musical inclinations persist(as you can tell from his demo-playing!), and the breadth of his repertoire promises to increase greatly in the coming years, with planned compositions and releases spanning the pop, punk, rock, blues, acoustic, and virtuoso guitar genres.
