With a distinct fondness for the PNW, this Country & Rock Singer-Songwriter from Silverdale, Washington pours his heart and soul into his music and performances. Splitting time as a youth between Washington and the Outer Banks in North Carolina shaped him into the songwriter and vocalist he is today. His early influences are as eclectic as his live shows, ranging from Merle Haggard, Travis Tritt and Garth Brooks to Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp. Currently drawing inspiration from Eric Church, Kip Moore, Luke Combs and Ashley McBryde, Joel has penned many original songs that tell the story of rural upbringings, love, loss, and inspiration. He released his debut self-titled 12 song LP in June 2019 and is currently playing all around Kitsap County and the surrounding region. He has played shows in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana and has opened for local Country artists Dylan Jakobsen and Aaron Crawford. Whether performing solo acoustic or with his band Joel Gibson Jr. & The Hired Guns, his infectious and humble stage presence paired with an ever changing set list of originals and covers will not only keep you entertained, it will take you on a musical journey through the decades of Country and Rock classics!
