About Joe Nadeau

Born: March 23, 1966. Joe started guitar @ age 12 on Fathers' old Silvertone acoustic First memorable musical experiences we're Fathers collection which included early Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, Jimi, Chuck Berry & Motown sides. First bitten by the Blues bug in Junior High School after finding a cassette copy of "John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, featuring Eric Clapton". He then proceeded to hold it to his ear while walking the hallways of school for the entire school year and following summer. Not long thereafter, in 1983 he purchased a copy of Stevie Ray Vaughans' "Texas Flood". SRV proved himself a huge influence as well as a "jumping off" point into the Blues world around and, more importantly, before him. Influences after this point include: Albert King, Freddie King, Lightning Hopkins,Otis Rush, Jimmie Vaughan, Albert Collins, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, Duane Allman, Billy Gibbons, Lowell Fulson, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker & many others. Also contributing to the education was a thriving local New England scene as well. People such as Duke Robillard & Ronnie Earl from the Roomfull of Blues empire. After establishing the 'Texas sound' as his favorite style of Blues, he packed up his guitars and a footlocker and headed to Texas. Dallas, Texas. It was there, while working at a local guitar shop, where he met a young Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Not long after, KWS invited him back to his hometown, Shreveport, Louisiana to help him form his new band. Joe was KWS’ first vocalist while also sharing guitar duties. Two Platinum records, an Eagles tour through Europe, two North American tours & a whole #$*!load of fun later they say... is history. After departing from KWS in 1998, he started loading up for his own release. While doing so, he also played guitar for regional legend Kenny Bill Stinson as well as performing w/ his own band. Finally, in 2001 "Burning Sands" was released on Louisiana Red Hot Records to critical acclaim. He has been touring in support of "Burning Sands" since, and is gearing up for a new release soon. In 2006 He then got a call from KWS to help in production of a new DVD that he was w shooting. The result was playing guitar on a track w/New Orleans legend Bryan Lee. The DVD, entitled "Ten Days Out" was released in 2007 by Reprise and the song title is "Tina Marie".
