About Joe Euro
From Rock and Roll and Blues Bands in High School and College in the Chicago area where I grew up, to studying Classical guitar with various Master teachers, then going on to study Jazz with Master musicians Read more on my About page. When not working on my Music I spend my energy cycling, kayaking, and hiking in the magnificent mountains of the Pacific Northwest. In 1982 I started a (wine shop in Port Townsend called "The Wine Seller". Which I still run today.

Notes from recent past performances
I do House Concerts as well. If you've got a nice big room at your house...let's do a concert! I love doing them!
OPES presented Casting a Long Shadow, a winemaker's dinner at C'est Si Bon restaurant on Friday, January 22, 2010.The PT Wine Seller did the offer on the sale of the wines. It was a wonderful event to play at
Port Townsend Film Festival where I played a fabulous 2 1/2 hour Street Concert for the opening of the Festival! (late September, 2009)
Wooden Boat Festival, 2009. I played selections from all 3 of my CDs as well as some new music I have been working on.
I have been in the recording studio again lately, recording selections for a New Upcoming CD (and Digital Downloads) due out later 2010.
My performance at the Manresa Castle on Saturday, April 18, 2009 was graced by the presence and superb jazz piano playing of Barney McClure, who some of you will remember was also the mayor of Port Townsend back in the 80's, and State representative! What a treat to be able to play with such a jazz genius! Barney lives in Fairbanks, Alaska now with his wife. He plays in a club there on Fridays and Saturdays, and still teaches. He is otherwise, somewhat retired at age 70 now...but still going strong. Barney was here for his daughter's wedding that night. Maybe he'll move back to the Pacific Northwest and grace us, once again with his playing. Barney McClure is still one of the most creative jazz pianists (Barney is also a great Hammond B3 jazz organist as well - although he played the grand piano at the Manresa Castle with me on Saturday night) I've ever heard or had the pleasure of playing with. Take a few moments at his web site: Barney McClure
