about
Uncle Joe’s Medicine Show hails from upstate NY’s legendary funk rock and jam scene and the band formed in late 2001 in Fredonia NY while attending college. Uncle Joe’s relocated to Atlanta Georgia at the end of 2005, ready to bring a new sound full of energy and groove to the South. With a sound that fuses vintage funk sounds with a soul lyricism, the band evokes the days of when groove and feel were first and foremost. With influences from Stevie Wonder, Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield to Wes Montgomery, Eric Clapton and Steely Dan, Uncle Joe’s Medicine Show has a sound way beyond their average years on this earth of 29. They have made no mistake in getting familiar with the groove and getting a handle on the raw live elements of jazz, soul and rock. Their live shows are the right blend of original material and familiar old school favorites. Their members are: Brian Didsbury-Fender bass & vocals; Jeff Jeswald-Organ, pianos & vocals; John Halpin-Guitar; Gabe Fleming-Drums. Uncle Joe’s formed in the fall of 2001 and with each member a part of the State University’s media and audio programs they immediately excelled in recording and performing, self producing the 2003 release Sonic Tonic with their own production company The Jammers & The Brothers Dig. The band sold over 1,000 copies of the disc while playing festivals, clubs and events during and immediately following college. After moving to Atlanta Uncle Joe’s Medicine show began building a name for itself among the jam ban
