“The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits.”
-Willie Dixon
With his feet firmly rooted in the blues, Joey Houck brings youthful vigor and excitement to a live show that takes his audiences back to a different place in time. His guitar work evokes Stevie Ray, Hendrix and Santana, and his soulful vocals are reminiscent of artists like the great Johnnie Taylor.
Originally from Kodiak, Alaska, Joey has performed extensively across the United States. In 2019, he relocated to Louisiana, both to work with and learn from the cultural torchbearers in New Orleans, and to establish a home base for his band. Joey currently performs regularly at nightclubs and breweries across the Gulf Coast as well as at New Orleans venues that include the House of Blues, French Quarter Fest, Club 30/90, the Hard Rock Cafe, Southport Hall, Santos, the Rivershack, Midnight Revival, Whiskey Bayou, the Drifter, and Dean Zucchero’s Blues in the Bierhalle series. You can also catch Joey on the Blues Trail — on the Mississippi Gulf Coast at the Shed, the Juke Joint, and Ground Zero Blues Club, and in Atlanta at the historic Blind Willie’s Blues Club.
Joey is currently in the studio collaborating with bassist/ producer Dean Zucchero, whose 2023 album “ELECTRIC CHURCH FOR THE SPIRITUALLY MISGUIDED” went to #1 on the Billboard Blues charts. Joey has also performed with Jason Neville, Layla Musselwhite, Mem Shannon, and Sierra Green, as well as with members of the Bob Dylan Band, the Peter Gabriel band, and the Willie Tee Band, among many others. On March 1, he is performing with Johnny Sansone, Ghalia Volt, Sunpie Barnes, Jason Ricci, Jonathan Boogie Long, Johnny Rawls, Papa Mali, at the Broadside Theater in New Orleans.
For fans of blues, rock, and soul, Joey’s live shows are like church—an event you have to experience in person to fully appreciate. With blistering guitar solos, a powerful voice, and a tight band, Joey Houck always leaves it all on the stage.
