Few artists embody the heart of Sound Waves quite like Joel DaSilva. A guitarist, singer, and songwriter with deep Chicago blues roots and a global musical lens, Joel brings a sound thatโs raw, soulful, and unmistakably real. His music blends blues, roots rock, garage soul, and Americana into something entirely his ownโ driven by instinct, history, and endless momentum.
At Sound Waves, Joelโs appearances have evolved into something special. Each return becomes an All-Star Blues Jam, curated by Joel and fueled by the best blues musicians in South Florida. Nothing was scripted. Songs stretched, musicians rotated, and the night unfolded as a true musical conversationโdifferent every time, but always alive.

In 2016, just days after Princeโs passing, Joel took the stage and sang Purple Rain. As the song unfolded, the sky shifted to a soft lavender hue, and a light mist began to fall. Everyone went still. You may not see it on the videoโbut if you were there, you felt it.
In the years that followed, Joel returned with evolving All-Star Blues Jams - nights fueled by friendship, generosity, and deep musicianship. From Earth Day fundraisers to post-COVID reunions, each appearance carried the same thread: surprise, soul, and a shared understanding of why live music matters.
