Guitar, Ukulele
Joe Johnson comes from a family of musicians and artists. His older sisters, parents, grandparents and their siblings are writers, dancers, cellists, pianists, singers, and more. Joe began playing guitar at the age of 11. After mastering the power chord, he knew the guitar would be a part of him for the rest of his life. He loved the energy as wellas the musicianship the instrument can bring to a song.
Joe draws influence from all genres of music and from all corners of the globe. He appreciates music from metal, hip hop, and electronic music, to music from African countries, from the Middle East, South America and Europe. He has played in punk rock bands, metal bands, jazz groups, reggae and funk bands.
Few connections are more profound than the connections made musically. Our hearts are multilingual, and to help people tap into one of the languages of their hearts, and express it through their instrument is what drives Joe to teach, and he has been doing so since 2007.
