Joe Carson will be performing at the annual guitar Festival during the Singer/Songwriter section of the show with other Boston artists including Will Dailey and Jeremy Lyons. Joe Carson is a singer/songwriter from the Boston area whose talent is unparallelled. With a voice reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and songs that sound similar to the likes of Ryan Adams and Bob Dylan Joe Carson is not a performer to be missed. - Zeitgeist!
Aside from Joe Carson, the list of tomorrow night's performers is under wraps,.But Hennessy's is promising a star-studded lineup of locals who've been influenced by Buckley. "There are two Buckley Bands' that have been formed out of Boston's best musicians," said Hennessy's Booking Agent Sean Flynn. "The Idea has been floated around the scene for years. The guy who performs every Monday, Joe Carson, has an uncanny resemblance to Buckley. It's sick. He sounds just like him...we finally convinced him to put the Buckley Tribute Band together and what I've heard sounds ridiculously awesome."
Flynn said never before seen Buckley live footage will be shown throughout the night. The event is hosted by FNX Radio's Julie Kramer. - Boston Herald

Bio
Joe Carson has been performing as a singer and guitarist in Boston for the past 5 years. He's played to packed rooms all over the city whether with his original music or with his cover show. Joe has performed and sat in with many local bands and musicians in many different scenes including Tom Groleau (Sweep the Leg/Mudhens/The Flutie Band), Stu Lee (Sweep The Leg), Never in Vegas, Jimmy's Down, Entrain as well as fronting headlining Tribute Bands for Nirvana, Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead, and Jeff Buckley. Joe has built a following as a solo acoustic performer whether delivering a high energy one man show or a soulful showcase for a listening crowd. Joe's draw sometimes seems to be his 4 octave vocal range and his ability to imitate almost all the singers he covers with an eerie accuracy. Also see www.myspace.com/joecarsonmusic
