Joe Caprara's Page

Hi. I've been playing professionally for close to 19 years now. I moved to Atlanta, GA from Pittsburgh, PA in the summer of 1993. Musically, I play mostly blues but occasionally get calls for rock shows and rockabilly shows. I do enjoy most styles of music. (March '09) I'm currently playing with Chasing Grace, based out of St. Ann's Catholic Church in Marietta; The Larry Griffith Band, and Bluephonic.

I've played on four 'legitimate' recordings now:
Albert Fisher & The Electraglides (self-titled and never released),
The Breeze Kings' "Tying One On...For The People"
John Michael Rose's "Still On My Mind"
The Jump 'n Jukes "Bottoms-up Boogie"

What I'm looking for is a woman that's considerate and lovely, intelligent and funny, with a 'can do' attitude, that appreciates the hauling capacity of my minivan. On second thought, she should have a 'will do' attitude..I'm also looking for a few gigs with Bruce Springsteen or Ratt.

My equipment: I'm endorsed by AHA Custom Drums, whose home is in Gainesville, Georgia. I have two of their kits: a red sparkle wrap, and a black lacquer w/silver flake shot into it. Both sets were built to my specifications and outfitted with Yamaha hardware. I'm also endorsed by Impact Industries, builder of premium instrument cases. My cymbals have always been Zildjian. I've used only Aquarian drumheads since 1998, Vater Drumsticks since 1997, Yamaha stands and hardware since 1984.
