About the band:
Joe Metzka has explored just about every genre of music and has settled in on the blues. His set list may still wander about into Jazz or R&B, but it’s all colored in the deep blue of blues. Joe leads the way down the road to nostalgia like no one else can, laid back and easy, his raspy voice a counter to the crisp licks from his guitar. Joining Joe is Tim Brickner on bass, Rusty Hall on piano and Matt Warren on drums. Hear his music and learn more about this St. Louis based artist at www.joemetzka.com
