New Video Collaboration

Posted on July 12, 2020 by joel

Our 2020 ‘Homeroom’ cover of the classic Peter Gabriel song ‘In Your Eyes.’

This video features the amazing talents of Nate Coon on drums, David Deshazo on bass, Daran Deshazo on guitar, Shruti Ramani on vocals, plus myself on vocals and keyboards.  Really hope you enjoy!

Also, some gigs are slowly coming back, but things could change at any moment. I try to post my gigs on my facebook page if you are interested in coming out. But please stay safe out there, and thanks for stopping by! 🙏

New Music Video

Posted on November 20, 2019 by joel

Hey Friends!

I made a music video, and I’d really love for you to check it out! 😎🐼

Some more info for those interested…

Since I had no videos for any songs from my 2011 album “Lindsay’s Song” I thought it would be fun to finally make one, and also to get some video making ‘practice’ for new music yet to be released. ‘Broken’ was the song that I had the most compelling vision for, and also a vision that I could fulfill within a super tight budget ➡️ 🆓😜
This song is definitely a ’snapshot in time’ (it was written way back in 2004) and I can’t imagine I’d write a tune quite like this again, but I had SO much fun making a video for it. Attempting to tell a visual story that fit with the music really inspired me creatively in a way that I didn’t quite expect. I definitely plan to do more, no matter how amateur the result may be.
I’m very lucky this song features some stellar guitar playing by Noel Johnston, and some equally stellar bass playing by James Driscoll. It was also wonderfully recorded, mixed and produced by Erik Herbst (and he also played many additional guitar parts!) at The Panhandle House Recording Studios in Denton, TX.

I welcome any feedback!
thanks a bunch for listening, and for your support 👍🙏🧡

Joel

ps – I know many people come here for drum charts, but I’ve just been so busy with gigs and recordings I have not updated those in a while. I do plan to add more! Thanks for your patience.

Charts Charts Charts!

Posted on May 21, 2019 by joel

Hey Friends. I added a few more drum charts, as I think most of the visitors I get here are coming for those, so I will try to update it more regularly! I wish I had time to chart everything I play, but I generally just do the songs I’m not so familiar with that I need to learn for gigs. I currently have 124 charts on the page, so lets see where I’m at by the end of year. Can I make it to 200? Let’s see 😄. I really appreciate the people who have donated (link is at the bottom of the drum charts page). Your kindness is much appreciated, and I do hope I am saving drummers some time.

I have a bunch of public gigs coming up in Vancouver during the summer and jazz festival season, so please like or follow my facebook page if you want to know about these. I don’t have a calendar here on the site unfortunately, but I do post on facebook when I have public shows. You can always catch me at the Pat’s Pub vocal jam the last Monday of each month too.

I am still practicing as much as I can, both drumming and singing, and I hope to release some new music to the world soon. Please follow my instagram or youtube if you are interested in this. 😎

2019

Posted on February 16, 2019 by joel

Hey friends, welcome to my website!

I’ve made a few updates to the website recently, in particular I’ve refreshed the gear page of equipment I use while drum tracking for clients (some great new Coles 4038 Ribbon microphones added, plus a bunch of other cool drum gear), and also to my drum charts page which can be a handy resource for drummers needing last minute charts on a gig. 😎

While I still perform mainly at private events, I do have a lot of public shows coming up at local Vancouver venues like Frankies Jazz Club and at the Blue Frog out in White Rock. For the latest info please ‘like’ or follow my facebook page as I don’t use a calendar on this site for my performances.

Aside from singing and playing drums with various local artists, in some cool news for me I am working on a bunch of original music again and I plan to have some new releases this year. I’m really excited about this and look forward to sharing the results with you. 😀

thanks for stopping by, and please follow me on instagram or twitter if you use those sites! ❤️JoFo
