Works with some great musicians who appreciate harmonica!
Filisko & Noden
Acoustic blues and ragtime at its finest, with a touch of amplified harp. They also offer guitar/harmonic workshops. Eric Noden is Joe’s soul brother and possibly perfect musical match. Joe has known and admired Eric for years but only started gigging with him early in 2003. They've had festival performances in France, Germany, Croatia, England, Sweden, Belgium, Australia, and Brazil. At home performances have included Chicago Blues Fest, The American Music Fest, the Two Way Street Coffee House, Fox Valley Folk Festival, Paramount Blues Festival, Buddy Guy’s Legends, and WFMT “Folkstage." See the duo’s bio page on RootsDuo.com for more.
Jasko, Filisko & Ortega
Joe collaborated on the "Friendship" project with musical artist, recording engineer, and lifetime friend, Jeff "Jasko" Jaskowiak and drummer/percussionist Larry Ortega. Jaskowiak describes this music as thrashing acoustic. It is an endeavor of love, heart, passion, perseverance and timing, as true friendship is.
