Joe Chirco knew he was born to be a drummer from the Christmas Day, aged five, that he received his first drum set. What makes him positively unique among drummers has been his need to play in many different genres. As most working musicians do, he’s a member of a number of different bands – but few could list bands that have Jazz, Latin, Reggae, and Rock as their main styles. This subtle versatility, along with the soulful power that every rock band needs, has brought him to the Donna Jean Godchaux Band.
He also performs with one of New York City's finest high energy bands known as “ The Hank Lane Big Band”, often playing venues in the tri-state area such as NYC's famous Rainbow Room, The Plaza, Oheka Castle and Atlantic City's Trump Taj Mahal. Touring throughout North America with such performers as The Zen Tricksters, David Nelson Band and Tony Trischka. Maybe you've jammed with Joe at the Gathering Of The Vibes, Oregon Country Fair, High Sierra, Crystal Ballroom or Eugene Celebration to name a few. When not on the road, Joe continues to work .. studio recording projects, ranging from funk, jazz, rock, fusion, Latin, and R & B, while also managing a thriving teaching practice in his home studio. |
