The Joe Hendricks Experience

a One Man Garage Band...

 

A One Man Garage Band on a Mission…..To keep the half-century old Music of Jimmy Reed alive and in the Street….

We are a One Man Jimmy Reed Tribute Band. We don't know, but maybe we are the only one that exists. And we have no real idea as to whether or not anyone really cares. What started, as a personal rehab project, however, has become a public event. We're out of the garage and sharing our interpretation of Jimmy's music with the public.

We believe in history and respect the role that music has played in our lives. And we believe that Jimmy Reed's music wrote an important chapter in the roots of rock and roll.

… In music writer Pete Welding's words, the lasting appeal of Jimmy Reed's music stems from the fact that "it was honest and simple...and it drew its strength from the authenticity and clarity of Reed's observations about the everyday affairs of ordinary people.”

 

 

Honest and Simple

Authentic and Clear

Jimmy's message and sound appealed to the audience of his time. Our music attempts to communicate the essence of Jimmy's observations and shuffle boogie style which we believe are equally relevant and approachable today.

So.....

We have transcribed Jimmy Reed's complete VeeJay catalogue and we are now recording and performing over 100 of his songs. We love sharing our interpretation of Jimmy's transcendent “feel good” music with the public….anywhere, anytime, any venue.
