Joe’s Boyz was a concept developed by drummer Joe Beltran. He invited several musicians who weren’t too familiar with each other to his home for a ‘jam session’. They wrote and recorded the song ‘Souls’ for a compilation album and mastered songs like ‘Burn’ and ‘Highway Star’ by Deep Purple and ‘Lights Out’ by UFO.
The name Joe’s Boyz was the tongue-in-cheek response from the owner and operator Frank Michel of The Sound Hub Rehearsal Studio after they contemplated a band name. After a not-so-intense debate, the name stuck.
Joe’s Boyz have performed at Plan B Entertainment & Cocktails in Thousand Palms with desert duo Van Vincent and The Hood Bar & Pizza in Palm Desert along with 5th Town and The Afterlashes for 93.7 KCLB’s 30th Birthday Bash.
