BIOGRAPHY
Singer, songrwrtiter & keyboardist, Joey Green, has been playing rock & roll for over 45 years! He formed his first band, OZ, back in 1976 with a bunch of high school buddies in Springfield, Massachusetts.
For 16 year-olds, the boys were serious. They spent pretty much all their free time rehearsing covers from Led Zeppelin, Charlie Daniels, Kansas, Boston, Allman Brothers, Black Sabbath & Grand Funk.
"In my freshmen year of high school, I was a lost soul. When I met Scott, Todd, Joe and the other guys, it was like waking up out of a 16-year stupor! I finally found what I was meant to do--play rock & roll, wear bell bottoms, have hair down to my ass, smoke dope and of course chase chicks!"
It was like a dream come true........
After high school, Joey spent four years playing covers in the Florida rock circuit. When that finally morphed from fun into a grind he relocated to New York City where he eventually met bassist/producer Brian Stanley, who helped him form his first original rock band: "Joey Green & The Jury".
In 1988, The Jury released the EP "Shy Boy" on Kangaroo records. After spending a grueling year promoting the release on the North East college circuit, the band split up and Joey turned his energy to writing, and recording demos for his next project.
In 1999, Joey emigrated to Vienna, Austria, settling down with his Austrian wife, Sigrid Eyb (Green).
It was not until 2010, that Joey began dabbling in Vienna's local rock & blues scene, which to his surprise, was more developed and established than he had expected. Right away, he was lucky to meet a few American expats like himself, Dan LoCascio (guitar/vocs) & Kevin McManus (drums). Together they started a band called "Mean Streets" specializing in blues, R & B and rock. Mean Streets played successfully all throughout the Greater Vienna Area for over 4 years, making a very good local name for themselves.
Eventually, as with most purely cover bands, as time moved on, so did the guys in the band. In 2017, Joey formed Joey Green Band, an original rock vehicle developed to showcase his and his bands own songwriting & performance skills.
The good news? Joey Green Band returns to the stage in 2024 with LIVE concerts in Vienna and New York.
With crunching guitars, a pulsing, relentless rhythm section, this Band lives to explore the forgotten art of groovin’, authentic, rock & roll-- 1960’s and 70’s style.
Featuring high energy, foot-stompin’ original music of their own, PLUS authentic renditions of classics from the likes of Steppenwolf, Blue Oyster Cult, Cream, Spencer Davis Group, Allman Brothers and Grand Funk Railroad, Joey Green Band will take you down a road you have not travelled on for a very long time.
What's more, look for new original titles to show up in 2024 on all the major streaming platforms as Joey Green Band dives back into the music!
