Joey came to Nashville in 1990 from Eldorado, Illinois, where he had studied under noted flamenco guitarist Sam Reeves. A lover of all styles of music and a firm believer in being a "jack of all trades," Joey has studied and performed various styles, including classical, rock, jazz, Latin and even country ("When in Rome!"). He also performs in Fatgnat, a jazz-fusion side project with Serenatta bassist Kevin Hogan, where they switch musical chairs -- Joey plays bass and Kevin plays guitar. Joey works at United Methodist Communications, where he is associate editor of Interpreter Magazine (www.interpretermagazine.org). An avid golfer (he takes vacation from work to watch the British Open every year), Joey's non-musical time is spent in the woods at Percy Warner Golf Course, looking for his lost ball. tomatopie34@hotmail.com
