Born in England and raised in Portugal, Joe Faulder is a singer songwriter that dreams up songs that chronicle the simple joys and afflictions of the human existence.

Fusing the energy of rock with the intimacy of folk, Joe affords a powerful kinetic journey to the depths of the human soul. His sound is smooth and sultry, yet flexible enough to mesh in any environment. Impelled by soaring rock vocals, his lyrical prowess meshes seamlessly with the overwhelming warmth of an acoustic guitar. Paying homage, and channeling, the icons that paved the musical landscape prior, Joe delivers irresistible pop hooks that evoke the power of legends such as Van Morrison and Jeff Buckley; yet, modern influences like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana help flesh his sound out with the gritty texture that illuminates his infectious melodies.

An act cultivated on the cobble-stoned roads of Boston, Joe became an integral facet of the city’s thriving musical landscape. It was there that he honed his craft and molded himself into the artist that he is today. In a society where artists are created in the studio and on the screen, Joe’s talent was born and his heart is home on the stage.

Now in New York City, after one full-length independent release and one EP, Joe is in the studio recording his second, as yet titled, full-length album. The album will be released independently in the summer of 2006.

A staple on the New York performance circuit, Joe has enjoyed reasonable success in the city that never sleeps. He plays at the Bitter End, the Mercury Lounge, CBGBs, Sidewalk Café, among many others. Still actively involved in the Boston music scene, Joe maintains a healthy relationship with his bean town following. 2005 and 2006 have seen Joe begin regional tours up and down the East coast. His relationship with NACA (national association of campus activities) is starting to bear fruit, as Joe is becoming a main stay of the college scene in the North East, Mid Atlantic and the Southern regions. New bookings in the summer and fall of 2006 will see Joe hit the Pacific coast and Europe as his music, his brand, expand.

Following a truly grass roots approach, playing at every opportunity and building fans one by one, Joe is utilizing all resources available to build his passion into a business. His music is available on Cdbaby.com, Apple’s itunes, Rhapsody, Napster; he has enjoyed modest success from his internet-based following. His music has been bought online by fans around the world from Connecticut to Osaka, Japan.

The future is blaring for this rising star.
