Joe Deninzon's 2012 Projects

Joe Deninzon interviewed on Bands Like Zappa


Joe Deninzon's EXUBERANCE has been mailed out, and I'm looking forward to talking with friends about this jazz album that features intriguging swing stylings of originals plus covers of songs by Alice In Chains, Fats Waller, Django Reinhart, Jimmy Webb.  I'm taking over management for Joe and his band Stratospheerius at a great time in his career.  Due in 2012 are two amazing projects: a new album and a Mel Bay instructional book on electric violin.  

 A talented artist, he is also the music world's "go to" guy for all things strings.  From creating arrangements for some of today's young bands to playing live in Bruce Springsteen's orchestra at Madison Garden, Joe is terrific.  He's also one of the best singers I've ever heard, and a dynamic frontman.  He's performed for President Clinton, has worked with Sheryl Crow, Ritchie Blackmore, the Kin, Everclear, Trans Syberian Orchestra, Phoebe Snow, Les Paul, and many others.

CASHBOX writer Justin Scro reviews, "Stratospheerius is creating a genre of its own," and "the vocal performance of Joe Deninzon is on par with his stringed abilities."   THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER praises Stratospheerius for its "funky electric violins, driving guitar rhythms, and fevered drumming layered in an explosive fashion."
