"[Joe is] amongst the elite of Berklee student songwriters..." - Jack Perricone, Chair of Songwriting Department, Berklee College of Music
"Joe Huettner makes the world a better place" - Jess Blasko, Ithaca, New York
Originally from a small farm in South Central Pennsylvania, JOE HUETTNER's pursuits in music led him to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he plans to major in Songwriting. “I don't think people want to hear about sadness all the time, and that seems to be a majority of the songs on the radio now,” says Huettner. “I want to get some happiness out there, but without sacrificing musical quality. However, if a sad song is written, I won't hesitate to let people hear it. Unless it sucks."
As well as Songwriting, Joe's interests include playing the electric bass, reading up on Roman history, and being a diehard fan of the Boston Red Sox.

Your influences?
"I listened to a lot of Beatles albums when I was younger. I try to listen to everything: Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Beethoven, Vangelis...and recently, I've been getting into some good Neil Sedaka tunes. I don't dislike a song without hearing it first - I give everything a try. I'll listen to the radio and say 'man, that performance of the song sucks, but the writing is perfect.' I don't care if people don't like my performance, just as long as somebody somewhere says something like that."
Favorite spot?
"I'm a big fan of Maine. It's a beautiful state."
