Joe used to be in the band Joe, Marc's Brother, now he is tenatively the fourth member of Guster, but he continues to pursue his solo carrer. I saw Joe play last weekend at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn, which has an amazing concert space. It is totally intimate (holds about 30-40 people) and has great architecture. It definitely bumped up the score.
Joe himself was just amazing. His lyrics are completely human and his demeanor is very welcoming. Seeing him onstage made me very happy. This performance ranks up there as one of my favorite of all time. I won't forget it.

My daughter, Emily, called me from Milwaukee. She had been at the Milwaukee Summerfest and being in a bar afterwards she was sitting with a friend and someone came up to their table and preceded to ask if the chair was available. He sat down and started talking and they asked where he was from and he said Tennessee. Then it came out that he was a member of a band playing at the fest, Guster. Emily's boyfriend who was the bartender is a #1 fan of the band and he was about to explode with awe at having a member of the band in his bar and talking to him. My daughter took alot of pics and it was the highlite of t he evening. Needless to say she was impressed with the friendliness of JOe and and the memories of that evening spent with Joe from the Guster band. I am her mom and wanted to share her story to you.
