This is the third in our Retrospective Music Series - a very special intimate acoustic evening with JOE GRUSHECKY.

Joe has a vast repertoire of songs from the Iron City Houserockers, to his solo work and, of course, with Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers. He is the epitome of a blue-collar roots-rock & roll singer, songwriter, and guitar player. Born in the coal mining hills surrounding Pittsburgh, PA., Joe has cut a path of devastatingly honest shows from Pittsburgh to Asbury Park and beyond. In the musical tradition of artists like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, Joe Grushecky has been making American blue-collar rock that draws from classic rock ‘n roll, Memphis soul, folk songs, electric blues plus a dash of punk since the late 1970’s.

He has been produced by some of rock’s greatest artists: Steve Cropper, Mick Ronson, Ian Hunter, and Steve Van Zandt. Recordings such as “Have A Good Time But Get Out Alive”, the classic “American Babylon” (Produced and joined on the subsequent tour by Bruce Springsteen), “East Carson Street”, the stunning “Somewhere East of Eden”, “It’s In My Song”, a very passionate protest anthem “That’s What Makes Us Great” (again in collaboration with Springsteen) and 2018’s “ More Yesterdays Than Tomorrows."

Joe and his music have certainly stood the test of time. Omnivore Records will be releasing a double disc career anthology as well as a new album, “Can’t Outrun A Memory” in 2024.
