With great musicians such as these Joe Galea has everything he needs to complement his raw, gutsy vocals, and his years of entertaining in South East Asia (and in Vietnam) have given him the ability to leave his audiences wanting more. The dance floor is always packed and Joe manages to reach every last person in the crowd.

The band have just released their third C.D. “Hiding Under Cover” .

This is a band not to be missed!!

Rob Davie - Guitarist

Reviews for the Joe Galea Band

and you thought you knew..
Joe Galea was injected with a blues, soul, and R&B phonograph needle when he was a Sydney teenager and became so addicted to the sounds of Otis, Wilson, Bobby Bland and others that no form of rehab could ever have straightened him out. For evidence of the sheer potency of Joe's narcotic influences... take a listen to Money Tree or Wash My Hands... I promise you... you ain't heard stuff like this since you first crossed over from vinyl to CD! The sheer collective musicanship of the Joe Galea Band is enough to make you drop everything to start a Joe Galea official fan site or stalk the guy into the Police arrive to find you screaming hysterically for anything that comes out of the man's mouth... even if it is a collection of Australian choice 'F' words! Interviewing an artist of this calibre is one hell of an honour.. the man exudes excellence and the band demands the utmost respect and appreciation. For the record... my Desert Island Discs would have to include the band's latest offering 'Midnight in new orleans... if you had any sense... you'd include it too!

Bluesmen often improve with age, theirs being a genre of hard-won wisdoms and whiskey vocals. Australian scene vet Joe Galea is no exception to this rule, and his new band may be his finest yet. Galea's voice has worn to a deep husk, and his combo's juicy electric guitars, bayou keyboards, and throaty sax sound as if they've fought some battles too.

Dear Joe,
Just a short note to let you know that the parcel you sent me with two of
your releases came safe and sound, thank you very much. I was away from home for a couple of days and when I came back the parcel was already waiting for me.
Having a voice like yours must be a God's gift. Your singing made my hair
stand on it's end, just great. Together with a tight band of professional
musicians and catchy arrangements your CDs made me sway from the first track to the last one.
It will be my pleasure to play your music in my shows. I'm sure that my
listeners will enjoy it as much as I do.
Thank you again Joe for the music you've sent me. Let us stay in touch.

Best wishes,
Przemek Draheim
