“There is a liveliness in his resonance and presentation that produces an assortment of shades, hues and styles suffused with a mellow and rich presentation full of drive and urban rhythms.”
He has published a number of books and CD’s.
His novel is entitled—FIVE THOUSAND URGENTLY POINTLESS DISTRACTIONS.
Joe Klocek
"Another Way of Stopping"
Joe is a square peg in a round hole sort of guy. Raised a midwesterner, so he has manners, but living in San Francisco for 20 years, so he thinks he's better than you. Joe does two things great- tells stories and talks to the crowd.
