Blues

Joey Love hit the Texas Music Scene in 1995 forming the Blues Xpress and to date has two independently released CD’s. After landing in the Texas scene from Pennsylvania in 1979 Joey was immediately sucked in by the blues all around him. Suddenly Texas Greats like The Fabulous Thunderbirds, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Freddie King, and Johnny Winter among others were screaming out his stereo as Joey literally locked himself in his room to learn this sound that overcame his soul. Now today it’s embedded in his fingers and heart and shows with every sweet note that sings from his guitar. The band has been captivating audiences ever since they hit the scene and their talents have included them on a few CD compilations.

They have performed a variety of major events including SRV Memorial Ride & Concert at Billy Bobs, the Dallas Montage Festival at Artist Square, the Wortham Blues Festival, Deep Ellum Main Street Festival, and a multitude of other festivals and venues as far North as Lincoln, NE. Appearances have also included opening for a variety of national acts, and have traveled the state performing at clubs, festivals and private functions. Joey and the band don’t rely on covers or classics (even though their show includes them) but more on the strength of their original material and the powerful and soulful guitar that has faded in the music scene over the past few years. They mix their show with a blend of different styles not straying too far from the core of blues but enough to keep a crowd’s attention and this is what only great artists can pull off with ease!
