Is it a violin? No a shakuhachi flute. Wait... it's a trumpet! A Bandoneon ? A saxophone? A baby crying? A wailing train? No, it's Joe Powers' soulful Harmonica! He pours his heart into everything he plays, from Blues and Pop-Rock, to Jazz, Classical, Tango, and more. He sees infinite possibilities to be explored on harmonica and that is his passion.

Since 2005 he has performed at festivals and events throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. His collaborations have included groups as diverse as Pink Martini, British Pop Icon Jamie Cullum, Smooth Jazz
Pioneer Tom Grant, and Tango piano maestro, Emilio de la Pena.

He has released several albums including; "Amor de Tango", recorded in Buenos Aires (2007), and most recently "Melancolie", with Grammy Nominated British Composer, Michael Hopp(2009).

Joe's chromatic harmonica of choice is the four octave Suzuki Fabulous. With it's rich tone, agile reed responsiveness, mega dynamic range, unmatched bendability and playablity, it truly lives up to it's name from top to bottom.
