Joe’s Narrative:
Have you ever been hooked on the narrative of a conversation that you weren’t supposed to hear? That is just one of the things you might feel when listening to the music of singer/songwriter Joe Purdy. As he reflects on a memory of an angry moment, or a stolen kiss, his voice becomes startlingly intimate — you can practically feel his breath on your ear. His sweet, folk- flavored melodies, coupled with the warm tones of an old Gibson guitar, is enough to make an audience blush.
Born and raised in bluegrass country — Fayetteville, Arkansas — Purdy fast developed an appreciation for music. Listening to Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Buddy Holly, and pretty much anything playing on the oldies station.
But it was a more contemporary artist that first truly impressed on Purdy the power of songwriting.
