Songwriter Series: Joe Allocco + Dustin Lowman + Harrison Bieth
Joe Allocco would like to think that he's an avant-garde instrumental guitarist in the manner of the primitive masters, but in reality he's a gentle finger picker from Circumstances, New Jersey, where sophistication is putting two muffins on forks and pretending they're dancing feet. Joe's roots in New Jersey's punk rock and hardcore scene add an "anything goes so let's figure it out" influence to the Fahey/Kottke/Rose inspired sound he has been drifting towards during the last decade.
