Allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Joseph Tkacz. You can call me whatever you feel comfy with. I love to write songs on my guitar and words on paper. Then I like to put them together and make complete songs out of them. My music is about all kinds of things. These "things" range from the first time I fell in love, to a space hero named Pluto Nash. All of my songs are different, but the message is the same. Believe in something and it can come true.
Why this name?
Actually the question should by, Why didn't I choose a bandname?
Well quite honestly I have nothing to hide. I don't see any problem with using my real name. Maybe it's not "marketable" but i'm not planning on being on the market anyhow.

Do you play live?
I live in CT and am currently looking for shows. If you are interested in booking me I am but an e-mail away or a phone call. I play all of my shows for free or for charity.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I can't even begin to tell you how much the internet has screwed things up. Over the course of my life, I have seen the internet ruin albums, friendships, and yes, believe it or not even relationships. This is not to say there are not good things on the internet. I think it is a powerful and useful tool, however when given power, man is likely to take advantage of it. Point in case, the internet will eventually be the downfall of many things, it has already begun.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hmm...Couldn't really tell you. The cool thing to say would be no, but we do have to make a living.

Your influences?
I have been influenced by so so many things, it is difficult for me to list them all. Obviously god has played a big role in my music, as well as my own writing and experiences. I get more and more ideas each day, and love to sing about all sorts of things.
Favorite spot?
Cincinnati Ohio
Equipment used:
Whatever amp I can get my hands on and the hole in my mouth.
Anything else...?
Music is a great expression no matter what way you look at it. Whatever the feeling may be, I want my music to make you feel something.
