Although all I knew about him was that he was the son of my 2nd/3rd grade teacher and his portrait stood steady above her desk, I knew there had to be a little more to his story.
Mrs. Driscoll would always talk about her son and his crazy ways, but I always remembered that she mentioned he was some sort of musician.
Years passed and as I became of appropriate age I got wind of his jams. Let me tell you I've heard nothing like it before.
Joe Driscoll was all the rage back then, and in fact he still is. If you grew up in Syracuse and you don't know about Joe Driscoll... you're a fool. Joe has such an amazing talent for combining all different kinds of genres like reggae, folk, rock, rap, and hip-hop.
Driscoll isn't just a local hero, he tours all over and was actually discovered and signed in London by Buttercuts Records. If you haven't already gotten your Joe D fix, I suggest you get started. With album titles like "Life of A Monkey", "Little Beat Big", and "Orgin Myths" why wouldn't you want to know what was on them? Honestly if you don't... it's your loss for real. Come on people... get schooled on some Joe D you know you'll like it.
i love joe driscoll!
