Astro Joe Garcia + Musician in Houston, TX

ABOUT

I've been actively involved in the Houston music scene since 2005, lending my skills as an accordion and guitar player to: Stringbenders, Voodoo Rodeo, and Rod Garcia Project. Now my main focus is on Bayou Junction. The Bayou Junction Band mixes multiple genres and incorporates my originals. My musical journey has been shaped by a wide range of influences, and I'm excited to share my original compositions while also paying homage to timeless favorites.

As a versatile musician, I bring a unique touch to the stage with my Roland V Accordion, an electric instrument that beautifully combines the sounds of accordions and keyboards. In addition to my accordion expertise, I'm proficient in both acoustic and electric guitar, adding further dimension to our performances.

To give you a taste of my playing styles, I've included some videos that showcase the diverse range of music I'm capable of. Drawing inspiration from incredible acts like Los Lobos, Mavericks, and Texas Tornados, I aim to capture their eclectic influences and infuse them into my own musical expression. I'm also a devoted fan of classic rock and country, embracing their rich heritage.

Thank you for taking an interest in the accordion! Stay tuned for more exciting updates and musical adventures. Keep on rocking! ;)
