To say that Joseph shreds on violin would be an understatement … He played as though he was having an intimate conversation with his audience through his violin. His stage presence communicated the nuance of that conversation, and brought every person into his world. - NASHVILLE OFFBEAT
“Joseph's musical talents are more than an aspiration …. You see, Joseph is prodigy and if you haven't heard him play some of the greatest Rock and Roll in history on his fiddle, you are truly missing a real treat. This young man is intelligent and can write, record and play any and all musical genres. I recommend that you give him a listen.”
