From classic bands of the past like The Frogs, NY Flyers, Alecstar, Driving Sideways, Mr Edd and the Dust Devil Band to more recent groups like Showtime, Gridley Paige, The Bomb, Wicked and Slug and the weekend warriors like Todd Hobin, the Justice McBride Band, Blueprints, Puttin’ On The Ritz the Mossback Mule, the Paul Case Band and Jon Liebing that have kept at it for decades, there is a long tradition of great local music in and around the Mohawk Valley.

During Genesee Joe's years on the local airwaves and as a musician, he's gotten to know just about all of the area’s players and considers our region’s musicians and their music an important part of life in the area.
 

Thursday nights at 9:30 Joe showcases a veteran or emerging regional musician or band on TheDRIVE's Live & Local Artist Spotlight.

If you play live, Joe wants to hear from you! Get your name, the name of the act and what you play to him at geneseejoe@927thedrive.net .
