BIOGRAPHY: Singer-songwriter/guitarist. Born in the small Southeast Texas town of Orange, just across the river from Louisiana. I soaked up a wide array of musical styles: blues, rock, pop, R&B, & country — listening to the radio, playing my LPs; and checking out bands in local bars on both sides of the Sabine. While attending UT Austin in the early 1970s, I discovered the great live music scene in the capital city — a treasure of blues, rock, and country music! About the same time, I also began writing my own songs & poetry, both of which are passions and joys to this day.
SOME REVIEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD . . .
Roland Goity, OnlineRock:
Inside most CD slush piles resides a musical gem. THE MOON IN THE MAN (despite its trite album title and Doug Henning-like cover) is such an album. BLANDA, a veteran of the Austin, TX music scene, croons soulfully through a wide variety of material here: blues, ballads, alt country, rock and R&B.
From the first track BLANDA'S adept voice and band's catchy rhythms will have you smiling and tapping your feet. This album does Austin proud. Its Texas-style rockin' blues are the next best thing to a night on 6th Street.
Favorite Track: Track 7, "FOUNTAIN OF LOVE" . . .
Magnus Eriksson, Stockholm, Sweden:
"A smooth touch . . . funky rhythm section . . . laid-back singing style . . . with an attack and self-conscious attitude in his guitar playing that contrasts nicely with the music."
Jan Andersson, "Country Rock Specialisten," Gothenburg, Sweden (distributing Austex music throughout the Nordic countries): "Like a mix of Stephen Bruton and John Hiatt . . . The songs are melodious and have a natural force . . . Many of them have a timeless feel that gives them a certain 'live favorite' potential . . . JOE is also a skilled guitarist. He plays short, well-disposed solos but is also smart enough to clear a space for Floyd Domino's piano."
Marc Nolis, "Rootstown Music Magazine," Belgium's leading American roots and World music magazine, noted the fine blend of rock, blues, and jazz.
ALSO AVAILABLE ON CD BABY: "ACOUSTIC MUSE," featuring 10 tracks of acoustic rock, pop & blues with lots of guitar and soulful vocals. This one's stipped-down and raw solo style entertainment (www.cdbaby.com/blanda2).
