Beloved Santa Fe singer/songwriter JOE WEST teams up with two of the
most notorious musicians from Northern New Mexico for a whirlwind tour
of the Midwest. JOE WEST'S ECLECTIC TRIO is a wonderful combination of
Joe's original quirky americana songs and stories with the avant guard
cello stylings of MIKE THE CELLO PLAYER and the vaudevillian blues
accompaniment of multi-instrumentalist WESTIN MCDOWELL. Eclectic is
quite an honest description of this trio of trouble.

Santa Fe's Joe West is certainly a man of the landscape and the
people. His quirky endearing songs and stories are peppered with tales
of fallen angels and characters from his own life experience; from
the girl who works at the rehab clinic (Rehab Girl) to the Filipino
transexual outlaw who shoots up an Oklahoma Bar (Jimmy Joe The
Wrangler). His sense of personal tragedy is always balanced with a
high dose of wit and humor, which leads an audience to fall in love
with the yarns he spins.
Joe hails from Santa Fe but spent years in South Dakota learning
theater and music and then stints in New York City as an actor and
street musician. In the mid 90's Joe moved to Austin Texas where he
and his band,The Sinners, became an award-winning fixture in local
clubs. By the early 21st century he found himself back in his
hometown of Santa Fe living with his significant other and their
daughter, to whom he has committed his life, on the old family ranch
near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Over the last several years, Joe has created a plethora of music
and theatrical projects that are a testament to his exorbitant
creativity: a full-length rock opera, a full-time theater company,
nine CDs of his original music, and most recently, Joe created music
for the Emmy Award Winning documentary SPLIT ESTATE as well as the
Emmy Award Nominated television documentary IN CONTACT WITH BEAUTY
for Texas Public Broadcasting. Joe's music has also been featured in
the feature film CONSPIRACY starring Val Kilmer and the TNT Television
series SAVING GRACE.
Joe is touring the Midwest and parts of the Southwest this summer
before he settles down in the fall to create his yearly theatrical
event of Horror and Comedy, _Theater of Death_, produced in Madrid,
New Mexico during the Halloween season.
Quirky. Creative. Prolific. Poetic. Joe West’s music is a unique
blend of incredible musicianship that is smart, accessable and
definitely funny. The Joe West Eclectic Trio will be even more so.
