JOE GRUSHECKY is the epitome of a blue-collar roots-rock roll singer, songwriter and guitar player. Born in the coal mining hills surrounding Pittsburgh, Pa., Joe has cut a path of devastatingly honest shows from Pittsburgh to Asbury Park and beyond. In the musical tradition of artists like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, Grushecky has been making American blue-collar rock that draws from classic rock ‘n roll, Memphis soul, folk songs, electric blues plus a dash of punk since the late 1970’s. He has been produced by some of rock’s greatest artists: Steve Cropper, Mick Ronson, Ian Hunter, and Steve Van Zandt. Recordings such as “Have A Good Time But Get Out Alive”, the classic “American Babylon” (Produced and joined on the subsequent tour by Bruce Springsteen), “East Carson Street”, the stunning “Somewhere East of Eden”, and 2018’s “ More Yesterdays Than Tomorrows" just a sample of the over 20 recordings that present Joe’s very singular, “down home” take on “living, working, family, politics and loving” in America. Joe and his music have certainly stood the test of time.
Omnivore Records released “Houserocker,” a double disc career anthology as well as a new album, “Can’t Outrun A Memory” in 2024. The lead track ”This Is Who We Are” was named in the Top Ten Coolest Songs In The World for 2024 on the Little Steven’s underground Garage.“The Houserockers ensure that there’s been no lapse in terms of the fire and fury. That’s immediately evident on Can’t Outrun a Memory, an album that shows, even after 45 years, Grushecky and company’s overt determination to the cause remains as intent as ever,” writes Lee Zimmerman in The Alternate Root Magazine.
