About
Dr. Joe is a piano rock and roll outfit out of Austin, TX with the southern funk of Leon Russell, the soulful howl of Ray Charles, and the raw chaos of Jack White. Front man Joe Sparacino grew up playing gospel piano in the rural midwest, leading him to drag a 300 pound piano to every show he and his band plays. He runs his piano through distortion pedals and synthesizers to create a sonic landscape that wholly rejects genre, while constantly referencing his deep reverence for the american tradition.
