About Joel Weir

Working class, spiritual, eclectic, classic... all words that have been used to describe Joel Weir's music. Joel's songs speak of small town america and spiritual searching with the honesty and authority of someone who has lived it. A ten year veteran of the independent music scene, Joel has found a voice in Americana/Roots music. Joel writes in the spirit of such great storytellers as Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, and John Prine, with an ear to the pop beauty of Brian Wilson, the Beatles, and Over the Rhine. Joel has released two EP's (Wiretap-2004, and Worktown-2005) along with a full length (Saint in the Door-the Home Recordings vol.1 - 2006) on Little America Records (www.littleamericarecords.com). In the summer of 2006, Joel moved from his hometown of Crawfordsville, IN to the mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania. After a short hiatus, Joel has begun to write and record again, currently working on a project tentatively titled "The Desert". He is currently available for booking in the Pennsylvania/New York area. Check out www.joelweir.com for more info on Joel. For booking, email weir.joel@gmail.com.

Mikel Kurch	May 4 2006 10:47 PM The artisits formerly known as stillframe will ride again. We are going to start from scratch, maybe buff up some old material, and we will be on the search for another bassist. That seems to be the hardest spot to fill.
