Combining equal parts folk, rock and Americana, NYC singer/songwriter JOE WHYTE's songs are riddled with, "time tested melodies" (TimeOut NY). Called by A&R service TAXI "the best alt-country artist (we)'ve ever heard", Joe expands on his 2006 EP with his forthcoming album, DEVIL IN THE DETAILS. It is the full-length follow-up to 2005's THE LOWER 48, which Jersey Beat magazine described as "one of the most moving and reassuring albums we've heard in quite a while." For the past 2 years, Joe has been a recipient of an ASCAPlus award, a merit-based songwriting grant from ASCAP, the performing rights society, and also named a semi-finalist in Discmakers/Taxi Independent Music World Series. In 2005, Joe was invited to Ireland to play the 8th annual Carlsberg Rhythm and Roots Festival in Kilkenny, where he headlined 2 shows and opened for alt-country legends Son Volt at a third. He also returned for the second year in a row to showcase at both the Dewey Beach Music Conference in Delaware and the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA. In addition, Joe signed an endorsement deal with Elixir strings, showcased with his band at the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC and had music placed in the PBS show "Roadtrip Nation", which aired on over 70 PBS stations. He is also contributing music to a new independent film called The Fallen Sky, which begins shooting in Chicago in summer 2007 and has been invited to Scotland to perform at the Darvel Music Festival in October 2007. His music is currently getting radio play on WBJB, WFDU, WNTI, WDVR, WRPI, Clear Channel’s ‘Undiscovered’ and XM Satellite Radio, in addition to numerous internet and UK stations. Over the years, Joe has played with such acts as Son Volt, The Frames, Josh Ritter, Slaid Cleaves, Shurman and Toby Lightman to name a few. Joe is represented (legal) by George N. Stein, former attorney and manager for the late Jeff Buckley.
