Originally from Buffalo, New York, Joe Lococo has been a full time professional musician all his life, and has the chops to show it. From Jazz to Country to Rock to Funk to Rhythm & Blues, he is one of the most knowledgeable players around.
Joe began studying classical guitar with a private teacher at the age of 13. His teacher advised him if he wanted to work as a guitar player, to learn as many songs and styles as he could and to never stop learning. He was also advised he would get more work as a singing guitarist, so he took up singing as well. He’s been a working musician ever since.
A versatile and valuable player, Joe Lococo is respected by his peers as an accomplished guitarist, sideman and bandleader. He has played in a dizzying number of bands, including (for over 20 years) with world renowned, Jazz Saxophonist, Jules Broussard. And he knows so many songs!
