Topic: New Member

Hi All:
I am a huge music fan of all kinds of music but I am always drawn to anything that is guitar oriented. I have no idea whatsoever why it took me so long to become a JB fan but I am certainly hooked.  I had been hearing of him for at least five years and finally started downloading his stuff about a year ago.  Since then I pretty much have the entire collection. I am seeing him at the Beacon for the first time this May and I can not wait!  As for me, I'm a single Mom living in CT with my beautiful daughter, I spend most of my free time at shows in the city with friends and I also love to run and hike.  Music is my passion. Nice to meet all of you!

Welcome! I am a relatively new fan as well (sort of the same history with Joe's music as you have). I went to my first show last May and am now addicted (like many many others on this forum). You will love seeing Joe live I can just about guarantee it. His playing is spectacular live and he always gives you your full moneys worth in terms of show length and number of songs. It is just a great experience and addicting (did I mention that)?

Thanks! I have seen so many shows in the last year but I am most excited for this one and it doesn't hurt that he is playing my all time fav venue...nothing like the Beacon! Glad to meet you.

Dont be afraid to post a show review in the Show Reviews and Set List section after you've seen it. It is nice to get people's takes on the various shows and the set lists. I'm going in Albany the Saturday before you and am really looking forward to it again.

Yes, very addicting for sure! With 180 songs in my playlist, he's pretty much on continuous loop, lol! It's been a long time since I was so excited to see someone for the first time but I can hardly wait for this show at the Beacon!

Any seat is a good seat at the Beacon! I sat up there for Robert Plant and it was great.
