My name is Joe and like I said, I play bass.

I have been playing music since I was about 16 or 17. Damn, that's over 35 years ago! I started out playing guitar but in 1999 played bass in a country band and have (since the winter of 2001) acknowledged my calling as a Bass Player. It has been an incredibly educational and humbling experience. But I do love it and am very happy with it.

Jammin'

Here I am groovin' to the music...many, many moons ago! (I wish I still had that amp!)

At Platinum Catering during a New Years Eve gig (2006-2007). I think this was taken while Daphne and I were doing 'Fever'.

This pic was taken at Howard Amon park in June (2008 I think). It was the hottest day of the summer at the time. We decided to play under the trees instead of on the Fingernail Stage. Even though it was really hot, it was a great gig.

Joe Sanchez · Drive This Dark

'Drive This Dark' is a more recent tune I recorded on my digital 16-track machine. It is kind of sparse but I like all the sonic space. I also like how clean it sounds.

Joe Sanchez · Alone

On 'Alone', the quality is a little rough because I had originally recorded it on tape (many moons ago) and then converted it to an Mp3 at medium quality to make the file a little smaller.

Studio - Guitar

This is my favorite guitar, a Yamaha SG2000. An awesome instrument.

I had fun replacing the neck pickup with a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover and the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates.
