Joe Patenaude was born and raised in a sleepy little fishing village on the Oregon coast. Ever since, he's been doing his best to wake up the citizens of his hometown...

"I started my professional music career in the band Blue Monday’s Realm. I was supposed to play Farfisa organ, but my folks backed out of buying it, opting for a guitar (and amp) instead. As my amp was the ONLY amplification in the band, including the P.A., they let me stay. But I wasn’t allowed to play guitar.

"I finally learned to play after going to a Grateful Dead New Year’s show in 1971. I knew what I had to do: get a good guitar and amp and learn to noodle."

Then came....
