Recording is in session for a fourth time as our brave adventurers tackle the vocally challenging "Last Goodbye" and the..er..guitarally challenging "Fox and the Owl." Also, we discover that we may need to re-record some tunes..but hey, it's all part of the process, and we WILL get it done. Little by little the CD nears completion. The closer we get to that inevitable end, the more I start to think about packaging and marketing and most importantly, performing. It's been far too long since I've taken the stage and I plan to start doing it again the closer we get to finishing this thing..after all, I've got to generate some kind of a buzz. And of course the release show is another thing to plan, and something I've looked forward to since I played my last one almost 4 years ago. In the meantime, I'll keep the updates comin'.
Adios amigos,
Joe
About Me
- Joe Chammas
- My musical journey didn’t begin how most people think it did. In middle school I listened mostly to hip-hop. I began writing and performing rap until well into high school. I experimented with guitar but I was never good at it, so I gave up on it quickly. Once I graduated, I gave it another shot. The lyrics I was writing were taking a folksier, poppier turn. After high school I bought a bright pink Yamaha electric guitar. I wanted to play lead and master the art of “face-melting guitar solos.” That wore off quickly and I focused my energy on songwriting instead (and picked up my first and only acoustic guitar). I honed my craft in basements and backyards, open mic nights, and eventually a string of full sets at local lounges/coffee shops. In 2007, I started recording my first EP of original music called the window ep and it was released on July 18th, 2008. Since then I’ve been doing nothing but writing and performing. I finally began recording my first full album in late 2011 and I hope to have it finished by the summer of 2012. I would love to perform and record as a full-time job, but at the end of the day, I play music because it’s just plain good for my health.
