Bio
Hokie Joint
Taking the Blues to the Masses
Hokie Joint are a five piece band from Colchester, England. On one hand we’re talking part Waits, part Wolf vocals, fuzzing slide guitar, dirty harmonica, driving bass and train-like drumming. On the other hand it’s gut-wrenchingly emotional vocals, melancholic guitar playing, sweeping harmonica, well constructed, melodic bass and intricate, mesmerising drumming.
These musicians have covered all corners of the blues that influenced them and forged together a refreshing new sound. From perfectly executed slow blues to high-energy upbeat tracks that audiences can’t help but dance to.
The difficult task of writing blues with a catchy chorus is something that this band revel in. A vibrant, stimulating live band, harking back to the club scene of the sixties but with a distinctively original modern approach.
Hokie Joints debut album “The Way It Goes…Sometimes” was released in November 2008 in the Benelux countries, shortly followed by a release in other territories.
Hokie Joint Having played before in bands that supported acts such as Geno Washington and James Hunter, or in bands winning prestigious band competitions (hosted by Jools Holland) for “best unsigned band” these guys are now ready to go the extra mile.
Charismatic singer Jojo Burgess, guitarist Joel Fisk, ace harmonica player Giles King (who guested on Ian Siegal’s “Meat & Potatoes”), drummer Stephen Cutmore and bassist Fergie Fulton make up Hokie Joint – the band to take the Blues to the masses.
