NOW
THAT'S GOOD
"It's
hard to step in any direction in the Phoenix area without finding
a Joe Myers fan. His incredible guitar playing is legendary
in these parts. He even attained the New Times Best Local
Guitarist title in 1999 without playing a single show here that
year. Now that's good." --
Miss Amy Young, Java Magazine
Myers'
versatility has led him to work in film, festivals, and
production projects. He has long worked in tandem with
renowned composer Brent Michael Davids (Kronos Quartet, Joffrey
Ballet), creating original scores for "Last of the Mohicans",
and for Sherman Alexie's film, "The Business of Fancy
Dancing", and performing live at the World Premier of
"Silent Enemy" at the 1996 Santa Fe Film Fest.
He has shared the stage with Daniel Lanois, David
Wilcox, Adrian Legg, Todd Rundgren, Tori Amos, Adrian Belew, The
Beach Boys, Warren Zevon and a list of other talented
artists.
Myers has also been awarded New Times’ "Best of Phoenix"
soloist 4 times.
Myers' originality extends to this CD-packaging approach. His
latest album, Troubled Notes
from the Hotel Chelsea, is housed in a giant
matchbook. His other
releases come in handmade wooden boxes and round tin canisters.
Myers' music can't be put in a one-size-fits-all box.
