The Grass Is Greener / Shapeshifting

new single – 28 March 2025

After a four-year absence, Joe returns to the scene with a brand new double A-side instrumental single. From the rock, blues, jazz, and Indian-tinged “The Grass Is Greener” to “Shapeshifting”, with its forays into baroque melodies, jazz, Irish jigs, rock and roll, and Thin Lizzy-inspired harmonies, the listener is taken on a journey through eclectic soundscapes, where musical genres are straddled, morphed and caressed, and where the past meets not only the present but the future, too.

Both tracks will feature on Joe’s forthcoming album, “Fields Of Redemption”, which will be released on June 20th, 2025.

“The Grass Is Greener/Shapeshifting” will be available as a download from the following outlets from 28 March 2025.
