Joe is definitely heavily influenced by Tommy. But Joe has many other influences like Phil Emmanuel, Brent Mason, Chet Atkin, Jerry Reed, Django and others. Check out his original songs like Royal Flush, Daddy Longlicks, Firefly, and It's not easy. Great stuff. Joe was in LA to gig and records with Lee Ritnenour this past weekend and I got to get a lesson from Joe. Joe is such an amazing musician at such a young age. I also got to watch Lee and Joe practice together and you can tell Lee was really impressed with Joe's skill and talent. With all his talent, like Tommy, Joe is extremely humble. He has a good head on his shoulders and will get even better and better. Joe just loves to play and learn.
