 Joe Denson was
born into music. Both his parents and
grandparents were professional musicians. Joe
started playing guitar at the early age often. By
the time he was in the 7th grade he was playing
in local clubs and colleges. His 7th grade band
director, a renowned concert violinist in his own
right, called Joe a true virtuoso. Even today Smokin' Joe Denson is recognized by his peers as well as audiences all over as a master guitarist and composer. His sound and style has been described as Jimi Hendrix meets Joe Satriani. Every decade since the 60s Joe has played the major clubs and concert halls. In the late 60s it was the infamous Catacombs club and "Love Street" where he backed up such bands as: Canned Heat, Blue Cheer, Steppenwolf. Also there was the annual "Battle of the Bands" at the Albert Thomas convention center. On September 18th, 1970 Friday night, the day Jimi Hendrix died Smokin' Joe along with other local musicians played tribute in concert at the "Of Our Own" concert hall. The 70s took Joe from Houston's "Liberty Hall " to Hollywood's infamous "Whiskey Ago Ago". The 80s were spent mainly doing session work. Doing this enabled Joe to concentrate more on his song writing. Composing since the 60s you can bet his writing capabilities have been honed to a fine degree. The 80's; Smokin' Joe was back in the saddle with his 3 Piece band "Shogun". Playing in and out of town a lot was Joe's passion. No matter what size a club or hall is, big or small you can bet" Smokin' Joe Denson" will be burnin' down the house with his own brand of progressive Rock n' Roll. |
