Bio
Joe LaChance is a Modern Bluesman with a lining of experimentation eminating from around his writing. Having just released five songs that were written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by LaChance himself, he’s began planning shows and shows no signs of slowing down.
LaChance started piano at the age of five, and expanded to percussion at eleven, guitar at fifteen, and voice at seventeen. He’s attended and won competitions for piano and percussion. Having just graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, LaChance decided to travel back to his his home state of Nebraska where he has continued to write and record. “I never realized how much I enjoyed writing and playing my own creations until I had taken my first songwriting course from Susan Cattaneo,” says LaChance, who graduated with a Professional Music degree with an emphasis in Songwriting. “It’s become to feel more natural, but being in Boston so far from family, it was my only therapy for being away.”
Also studying with Pat Pattison, Jack Perricone and Mark Simos, LaChance began to develop a strong Blues/Roots background through his piano playing and lyric writing. Having been exposed to so much music in Boston, LaChance took a liking to the writing of Gillian Welch, Ryan Adams, Ray Charles, and Leonard Cohen among others.
