Joe Stamm has a way of making seemingly minor moments feel as expansive and full as the Illinois River that runs through his central Illinois homeland. As Joe continues building a life in that same river valley, new stories continue revealing themselves to him. In the sound of the crickets on a summer night. In the smell of bonfire smoke on a mild winter day. In the taste of a cold garage beer.After more than a decade of writing, performing, and touring, Stamm has honed his storytelling ability to such fine detail, you’d think he was there when you were getting up to no good in your hometown. Or at your dinner table when you got the bad news. Or on your porch when you got the good news. His salt-of-the-earth writing style, coupled with a voice that urges you to feel deeply…well, that’s what honest music is all about.
“With uncommonly great songwriting, and a serious rock n’ roll attitude…Joe Stamm Band casts a wide net of appeal that captures most anyone with any sense of taste who falls within earshot.” - Trigger Coroneos for SavingCountryMusic.com
Expect a unique mix of rootsy rock and rugged country from all of Joe Stamm Band’s work — a sound they’ve coined Black Dirt Country Rock. This genre-bending sound flexes even further in the band’s newest full-length album Little Crosses. Produced by Al Torrence, a member of Charles Wesley Godwin’s right-hand band The Allegheny High, Little Crosses brings together the best parts of Midwest and Appalachian music.
Josh Meloy says Little Crosses is “like watching a movie.” Read Connolly, of Zach Bryan’s touring retinue, simply states, “This is American music.”
With gold-record know-how, Torrence “applaud[s] JSB endlessly for taking risks, and letting the songs steer them in the direction where the music takes them.”
But no matter what artistic turn they take, JSB has stayed true to what their dedicated fans have come to love from them: distinct imagery, high energy, big builds, and a voice that cuts straight through.
Joe Stamm Band is rounded out by longtime members, Bruce Moser on bass, Dave Glover on guitar (and occasional keys), and Tim Kramp on drums, all born, raised and still residing in central Illinois (except for most of the time…when they’re in a Ford Transit van).
NEW release: Little Crosses (full-length studio album, 2025)

The Filthy Heathens came together during the chaos of the pandemic, sparked by the chemistry between Bronson Hetzer, Ryan Palcic, and “Captain” Craig Bishop. Things got serious fast with the addition of guitarists Cody Doench and Dawson Stepp. With five members locked in, the band took off.
From Southern grit to alt-edge, classic country to hard rock, their sound defies easy classification. It's rich, raw, and rooted in something deeper than genre. This is music you can’t quite label — and that’s the point. Inspired by legends like Skynyrd and Waylon, with a nod to modern acts like Blackberry Smoke and The Steel Woods, their songs are raw, road-tested, and built to be felt.
Known for high-octane live shows and a growing regional fanbase, The Filthy Heathens are hitting stages across the country with a packed tour schedule and festival season. One gig at a time, they’re building something real — and it’s catching on. Live, The Filthy Heathens go full-throttle — and so do their crowds. They love to put on a show and bring a room to life. Every performance is a shot of energy designed to pull you away from your phone — and everything else going on in the world. Their debut EP Etheridge dropped May 2025, led by the singles “Tupelo Sun” and “Devils Like Me.” The fuse is lit — and they’re just getting started.
