Welcome to the MightyJoeMusic Homepage!!

Simply put, Mighty Joe is a musical powerhouse. With strong vocals, simple melodies, precise musicianship, & powerful lyrics, Mighty Joe is a singer who addresses issues (whether serious or comical) from his own point of view yet has the rare gift of speaking for others at the same time. A former high school teacher, Joe crossed over to full-time music in 1999. Since then, he has averaged 250 gigs per year.

His performances always promise spontaneity & audience response (see Photos page). While performing mostly as a solo act (accompanied by acoustic guitar & harmonica), you may also find MJ performing with a back up band, as in his most recent CD releases balance, Songs for Cash Vol. 1, & No Kids in the Beer Garden (see Discography page). Calling the Chicago area home, Joe performs locally, throughout the midwest, & overseas as well (see Calendar page).
