Joe Koenig’s musical endeavors began in late 1999 when he and his college roommates formed the rock band TORSION. In 2000 they released their first EP and amassed a cult following in San Luis Obispo. After a Texas Tour, three albums and a name change to SNAPHOOK, the group called it quits in 2004. In his hard rock days, Joe shared the stage with such bands as OZOMATLI, SUGARCULT, BUCKCHERRY, ELECTRACY, JOHNNY RAMONE and UNIDA.
Aching to fulfill his dream of producing his very own solo album, Joe joined the Central Coast music once again, but this time on his own terms. In 2006 Joe began performing his solo acoustic set everywhere from San Luis Obispo, California to Goliad, Texas and has since shared the stage with ROBERT EARL KEEN JR., HAYES CARLL, TODD SNIDER, ELIOT MORRIS, LARRY JOE TAYLOR, TOMMY ELSKES, BOB SCHNEIDER, DIRTY MARTINI and the legendary LEON RUSSELL.
He is joined by: Ricky Montijo, Bert Lev, Andrew Spearman Blake, Deborah Sykes & Jonathan Eister aka Indigo Out, Michael Masterson
