Joe Uveges has meandered the path of quiet musical anonymity on Colorado's front range for more than 18 years now. Raised a farm kid in Schoharie New York, pummeled by liberal academics at Union College and Catholic University, a grizzled veteran of bar bands and coffeehouses, he should be a burned out skeleton of a man playing Allman Brother covers, tipping lukewarm Coors from a can, and lamenting broken marriages and illegitimate kids. He is not.
Instead, 15 years into a delightful marriage and parenting all of his children (with varying degrees of success) he has been touring the country promoting his last three CDs: "One Down, Own Across" (2002), "Promise of Portage"(2004) and last year's "Up Please" which was a collaboration with Jim Sokol and Phil Volan. Both "One Down" and "Portage" were awarded "Best of" awards in their respective years in Southern Colorado. "Up Please", meanwhile, is a CD that fans of Volan, Uveges Sokol have waited 15 years for and the harmonies are relentless and evocative. For fans of great harmonies this CD is a fairly stark collection of truly awesome material that includes eight covers of wonderful Crosby, Stills and Nash songs as well as Peter Mayers' "Holy Now" and "Earthtown Square," and Bruce Cockburn's "Lord of the Starfields." One listener recently approached Joe after a show and noted that "That CD is the perfect Sunday morning disc." The CD also includes seven original songs that are delightful companions to the covers that were chosen.
Joe tours nationally but plays a great deal in Colorado with multi-instrumentalist partner Steve Hoke, creator of the "Tri-meister", a hand crafted composite instrument that includes an electric guitar, an electric mandolin and a six-string electric fiddle. It is a one of a kind instrument and Steve plays each instrument with a passion and sensitivity that comes of 30 years of performing. Visit www.stevehoke.com to see more about Steve and his creation.
Along with pondering books by Gary Renard and Mary Doria Russell, Joe does children's shows in affiliation with an organization called Earthseeds. Earthseeds is a non-profit which is dedicated to spreading visual images of the earth to people worldwide. The children's program promotes the unique notion that we are all in a sense "astronauts" on this small, beautiful, planet winding through space at 66,000 miles an hour. For more info on Earthseeds you can visit www.earthseeds.com
Joe currently resides in Colorado Springs with his incomparably brilliant wife, Kristen and his two children, Katie (14) and Andrew (6). They live in a small older home which suffers from the quality of neglect that only a musician can seem to manifest in real life. . . Still, if in fact the material world is only an illusion, then, who cares?.
