Joey Love
Joey Love was born in York,Pennsylvania in 1963. Growing up he was usually found sitting and listening to Motown records and began playing guitar at the age of 5. Pursuing other interests during his early teens Joey put the guitar down but was eventually drawn back and to date has now been playing for over 25 years. This time around he was listening to artists like Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, early Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, etc. It wasn't until 1979 that Joey made his way to East Texas. It was there he ran into a now old friend and drummer who introduced him to Texas Blues and it was "that" sound which immediately transformed his musical style. To date Joey has 2 independent release CD's, has been reviewed in National publications, headlined festivals and continues to be one of the premier Texas Blues guitarists. Partnering with another old time friend and musician in 2001 (Texas Slim) they have now brought blues guitar to the forefront of Texas Music once again. Hints of all his influences come out but he doesn't rely on any particular style which gives Joey a smooth and unique style. Joey is an endorse of Two Rock Amps which can also be found on stage with John Mayer, Joe Bonomassa, Steve Kimock and countless others.
