BIO:
Joe Vitale Jr. is the son of veteran Rockn' Roll Drummer Joe Vitale (Drummer for Buffalo Springfield, Joe Walsh, Crosby Stills & Nash, The Eagles, Etc.). He has spent the bulk of his life growing up on the road with such acts as Joe Walsh, Crosby Stills & Nash, Dan Fogelberg, The Eagles, and many others. Joe Jr. started writing his first solo album a few years ago and has finally completed it. It is titled "Dancing With Shadows" and deals with the struggles and Triumph over adversity as well as some fun songs and great rock. The uniqueness of Joe's sound derives from his use of Classic Rock and Industrial influences.
Joe Vitale Jr. is not only a multi-instrumentalist (Guitar, Drums, Vocals, Keyboards, Bass, etc.) but is also a digital audio engineer. Over the past 8 years Joe has been working for Sony Media Software creating loop libraries (Latin Percussion, Junkyard Rhythms, Organ Donor, and the recently released Vital Drums: The Vitale Collection) for ACID as well as doing the digital audio editing work on the 2005' Stephen Stills' album "Man Alive". The work completed on that album won Stephen Stills a Humanitarian award from Unicef for the song "Feed the People". Recently he also was the chief digital enginer on the Stephen Stills 2007 album "Just Roll Tape".
In 2007 & 2008 Joe presented at the NAMM show as a key speaker for Sony describing work done on several music videos directed by Joe Vitale Jr. As well as performing, Joe Vitale Jr. also speaks on many topics regarding the Music Industry, Record Labels, Music Video Production, Music Marketing, Promotion, Audio Engineering, Mastering, Digital Editing and other related topics.
