STAGE SOUND

While Joe is an acoustic musician, the sound system he uses is state-of-the-art.

  • AMPLIFICATION: For smaller venues a Fishman SA220 is available, while for larger rooms a Peavey Escort may be used.
  • ELECTRICAL OUTLETS: Only one is needed.
  • SET-UP TIME: 45 mins to one hour from arrival to end of sound check.

STANDARD INSTRUMENTATION

The basic instrument line-up is usually two or more of the following:

  • Taylor 714CE 6-String guitar
  • Taylor 754CE 12-string acoustic guitar
  • Breedlove CM Custom 6-string guitar
  • Martin 000C Steve Miller Pegasus 6-string guitar
  • Ibanez acoustic/electric 7-string guitar
  • Goya G-30 6-string classical guitar
  • Weissenborn Style 1 Hawaiian guitar

  • 1860's Fretless minstrel banjo
  • Gold Tone Elite WL 5 string banjo
  • Deering Custom guitar-banjo

Other instruments may be added / substituted as needed. Multi-instrument stands are used to create as small a stage "footprint" as possible.
