Joe Tourist started out at a small church called Faith Calvary Chapel in Ventura, California. It was a meeting of songwriters who are also on the Worship Team. With songs about life, faith and where the rubber hits the road, Joe Tourist brings a wide spectrum of colors when it comes to music expressing the human predicament at the crux of life and faith. " Where the rubber hits the road" is the term that Tim Gagnon used to describe the band's music. Gagnon is one of the chief songwriters as well as the drummer and occasional vocalist. Shawn Kroker has been a more recent addition to the group, and has really honed in her vocal talents in the studio during the CoVid shutdowns. She is a natural and very creative when it comes to harmony, as well as songwriting. Our latest additions to the band have been the smooth yet solid bass work of Mr. John Scherrei, and the inspiring keyboard work of Mike Angelette. Also new to the group is singer Dylan Paige, adding a smooth and sweet voice to the mix. We are very excited to have them in the group!
