“Eric and Joe are possessed by the spirits of Howlin’ Wolf, Sonny Terry, Robert Johnson, Johnny Woods, Sonny Boy Williamson, Gwen Foster and transported listeners back to the 1920s Delta. We love Eric and Joe. Please send them back.”
—Mickey Raphael
The blues and roots music duo, Joe Filisko and Eric Noden, make an unforgettable impression. Their jaw-dropping virtuosity enables them to create more layers of sound and feeling than most full bands can summon, and both are high-energy, ultra-rhythmic performers. The collective result — in both their live shows and their recordings — are charged, dramatic performances that are simultaneously powerful and sophisticatedly subtle.
In the few short years they’ve performed together, Filisko and Noden have displayed their compelling musicality on the world stage. They’ve performed at the legendary Chicago Blues Festival, the Paramount Blues Festival in Wisconsin (where some of the greatest of the early blues recordings were made); and at festivals in Sweden and Belgium. The duo also recorded the theme song for the “Sweet Folk Chicago” on the legendary Chicago radio station WFMT. Joe and Eric are expert practitioners of harmonica and guitar styles that defined the blues in its earliest days but are now all too rarely heard. Don’t miss these two remarkable musicians!
