If you organize Joe Koenig''s songs in the right order, you will hear the story of his life. Honest, introspective and soulful, his debut record, Somethin'' Concrete, gives Koenig''s road-tested songs the colorful treatment they have been begging for.
Somethin'' Concrete expands Koenig''s stripped-down acoustic sound with instrumentation from pedal steel guitar to a full gospel choir. But, once again his strong, soulful vocals steal the show, soaring over songs that have their roots in country, folk, rock and soul.
These songs were born on California''s Central Coast where Koenig makes his home, but many recall his bittersweet upbringing in small-town Texas. Over the course of Somethin'' Concrete, Koenig relates joy, loss and longing. By the end, you get the feeling that Koenig''s life so far has been rocky at times, but overall, hopeful.
While Koenig isn''t new to the Central Coast music scene—for years he fronted local hard rock mainstays Snaphook—he may be its best kept secret. He has shared the stage with TOMMY ELSKES, BOB SCHNEIDER, DIRTY MARTINI and the legendary LEON RUSSELL.
