Guitar slung low, microphone turned up, and emotion overflowing, Joe Samba taps into rock �n�
roll spirit and reggae soul all at once. The Massachusetts-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist
sonically teeters on an axis of island-inflected grooves and gritty guitar-craft balanced by his
dynamic vocals. He finds the sweet spot between smoked-out Caribbean bliss and sweat-
soaked punkified energy. It�s why he�s quietly emerged as a phenomenon, toppling charts at #1
and performing alongside everyone from The Dirty Heads to Pepper.
However, he�s primed to unite not only genres, but people as well through a series of 2023
releases and much more to come.
�No matter what walk of life you�re from, I�d love for you to hear the conviction in my music,�
he notes. �I hope you think, �This dude meant it�. Maybe you relate to what I�m singing about or
just cut loose for a little bit. I just write songs and try to connect with people.�
He recognized music�s inherent power to connect as a kid. Dad played bass in a local favorite
funk band, while his two older brothers followed suit by picking up the same instrument. At
barely seven-years-old, pops pulled Joe up on stage and he busted out a wild rendition of �I
Feel Good� by James Brown, leaving the crowd speechless and, unassumingly, deciding his fate.
As a teen, he even played at the Boston date of the Warped Tour in his metal band. Post-high
school, he cut his teeth by performing in countless bars and watering holes solo. 2019 saw him
make a major splash with The Wrong Impression. It bowed at #1 on the Billboard Reggae
Albums Chart and clocked over 2 million streams.
Joe puts on a fantastic show every single time! I’ve seen him over a handful of times and plan on going every time he comes around!
Awe inspiring performances with an awesome chill atmosphere with a grooving crowd. NYC!!!!

Great fun!! Lots of energy!! would definitely recommend.
I have been a fan for a decade and every single show that I have ever attended has been an incredible experience and so memorable! I wish nothing but continued success and love for Joe!
This guy is going somewhere bigger and thankful to see him at this point. Energy and lyrics were at 100%. This is the kind of music that moves everyone even if your hearing it for the first time.
Opening act Joey Harkum is a singer songwriter who is extremely talented. His songs had deep thoughts and feelings and delivered was tremendous vocal talent.
We had so much fun seeing Dan Kelly from Fortunate Youth and Joe Samba! It was a perfect night and Bernie's Beach Bar is so much fun for an outdoor venue!
amazing performance, Joe is so talented!! I will definitely be seeing him again & probably again and again!
Bernies was such a cool venue, small but packs a punch. The two opening acts were also great. I wasn't someone who even listened to this music but someone invited me and I said yes. I would go again, tomorrow if there were tickets! Definitely recommend seeing Joe Samba - he's got some moves too.
