I'm an artist living, working and playing on Long Island. Over the last few years, I've been enjoying a great run with a successful cover band UrbanAcoustic (Joe August, Terry Meigel, Mike Eklund, Arron Dicesare). We consider ourselves successful because we play some of the best venues on Long Island, and have attracted thousands of fans over the years. Not to mention strong musicianship, a diverse repertoire, and a chemistry between us that's nothing short of amazing.

Prior to that, I've worked with local original artists including Greg Amici and Alan Bennett adding harmony vocals, rhythm guitar, as well as arrangements both on stage and in the studio. We packed houses in some of NYC's most famous venues including CBGBs and The Bitter End. We made some incredible memories and came close to being signed several times. I grew tremendously through working with Greg and Alan and I thank them both for the unforgettable experience.

Music has been in my blood since I can remember. I've been performing and writing my entire life. I'm self-taught on the drums, guitar, bass and vocals. I love performing live shows and love working in the studio to create something out of nothing. I also work hard to connect to my audience whether at live shows or in the studio. Creating music is truly my passion, and it gives me great joy to share it with you.

Thanks,
Joe
