Simply Cannot Get Joe P "Off My Mind"

Joe P set the crowd ablaze in Nashville, Tennessee opening for Beabadoobee.

In the midst of their own first headlining tour across the East Coast, Midwest, and South, Joe P made a pitstop joining Beabadoobee in Nashville, Tennessee at Marathon Music Works. Lighting the crowd afire, Joe P ripped through an insane opening set, 7 songs was not enough Joe P for the night. Joe P sounds like, and bare with us for a second, listening to your friends jamming out in their garage during the minutes when the sun has set and the sky is a dusty blue and everything has a glow. Worn in, melodically crackly, cinematic drawl, echoing vocals, and straight garage rock guitar. Joe P's voice is shaped and reshaped throughout his discography, rough and deep, soft and high, grounded and stable, jittery and fragile all balanced by quintessential rock instrumentation.
