"Low Rollin'" Joe Nosek
(harmonica, rhythm guitar, vocals)
In his teens, Nosek began sneaking into Chicago blues bars to see blues legends like Jr. Wells, James Cotton, Jimmy Rogers, and Willie Dixon. By his early twenties he had shared the stage blowing harmonica with blues and R&B masters like Clyde "the Funky Drummer" Stubblefield, Luther Allison, and Casey Jones. A powerful and dynamic harp player, Nosek's harmonica playing is most influenced by post-war Chicago legends like Sonny Boy Williamson I and Little Walter as well as West Coast jump players like George "Harmonica" Smith, Rod Piazza, and William Clarke. As a frontman, he provides deep, muscular vocals and he knows how to work a room. Whether it's sliding across the stage or dancing on top of the bar, Nosek takes the job of igniting a crowd seriously.
