about
Joe Valeriano Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Clapton: this is the musical universe where Joe Valeriano's voice and guitar are. He's at the top of the italian rock-blues music and he has been working for ten years with Kim Brown. He keeps on going his musical adventure by playing and singing in several music clubs where he gets deserved praise.

He has recorded and played with several artists like Grey Johnson, Willy Murphy, Lach, Kevin Montgomery & Pettibone, Dan Boccuzzi, Joe Colombo). Lately he has taken part in many important events, such as "Festival Blues in Alcamo", "Music in the Mediterran" (Bari), "Blues Parade 2000 in Milan", "Novara in Blues", "Women in Blues", Festival Blues "Cant' e magg", Rassegna Blues Leoncavallo 2000" Milan, "Piazza Blues 2001 Bellinzona" CH, "Rapperswill 2002" CH, "Magic Blues Vallemaggia
