Joel Streeter
Since the release of his first solo album, Hear Me Out, Joel Streeter has been a rising force in the Bay Area music scene. Teaming with producer Jerry Becker (Train), Joel released Hear Me Out in 2006. Bay Area radio station KFOG took note of the album, placing the song “Stay Living” on their Local Scene - Volume 4 compilation, and playing the song frequently since the summer of 2007. Tracks from Hear Me Out were also featured in the 2008 season of PBS’s popular television program Roadtrip Nation.
The Joel Streeter Band features an all-star line-up of well known Bay Area musicians including Jim Bogios on drums (Counting Crows), James Deprato (Chuck Prophet) and Max Delaney (Uncle Sammy) on guitars, Matt Cunitz (All Ones, John Vanderslice) on keyboards and Jeff Symonds (Rich Price, Megan Slankard Band) on bass. The Joel Streeter Band has had the privilege of sharing bills with nationally well-known artists such as Phil Lesh and Friends, Ian Ball (Gomez), and Luce.
Joel has been described as "an avowed melody junkie" with his music compared to artists such as Wilco, Badly Drawn Boy, and Brendan Benson. He is set to release his second album, Matador, in Spring 2010.
