Joe Brunetti

For those that have seen and heard him play, you already know he's one of the few guitarist's that can sound like anybody and make it look easy. Plus his Vocal's are always dead on! It's not surprising that guitarists have come out to his shows just to try and cop his licks and to watch where he's playing that riff. Good Luck you can't see that fast...

Joe Brunetti began playing guitar around 1975. He is a self taught professional guitarist having only takin' one lesson and wouldn't continue because the instructor couldn't play any Led Zeppelin. While attending elementary and high school, he played in the school band performing Trombone and Baritone solos, all the while wanting to play the guitar. When the instructors wouldn't allow him to divert from the horns to the guitar, he decided to leave the school band. He then started a metal band called Kings Ransom, quit school, and never looked back. In 1985, The Kings Ransom band disbanded and Joe began his solo career. He played the local scene in and out of various bands and doing fill-in work. Bored with that, He started his recording career doing sessions and learning the Producing, Engineering, and Digital Mastering processes. This was during the switch from Analog tape multi-tracking to what would become today's Digital age. This knowledge would be so valuable for his future and he knew that in 1985. Although he was working, he was growing tired of session work, so he went on the road in 1991. He traveled alone from L.A. to Key West and everywhere in between performing every Juke joint that would have him, just to earn enough money for gas between cities. He did this from 1991 to 1994 and the lessons learned on the road were impossible to learn from any book. After returning home to Cleveland, he started the Blue Heat band and quickly started earning a reputation as one of Cleveland's premier guitarists. In 2000, he released the "Midnight Blues" CD. In 2001, he released the "Livin' & Dyin" CD. In 2003 he released "3". In 2004, he released "The Real Deal" CD and later in 04' released a re-mastered "Best Of" compilation. Joe performed nearly every instrument on these releases. In 2005, he formed The Joe Brunetti Band.

In between performing, Joe enjoys repairing and building guitars for his ever growing list of client's. He's the ONLY person they'll trust with a 1959 Les Paul...
