Joseph DeRosa
Joseph DeRosa is a world-class multi-instrumentalist and a good friend we have all played with in the past. He currently prefers the offstage life, and “in the studio” to playing live. He generously collaborates with us in the studio, recording tracks of piano, organ, strings, horns, harmonica, and percussion. You’ll currently hear his contributions on most of our backing tracks when we play live. Hopefully, someday we’ll coax him into some guest appearances.
