Opening the show is new ACMA member and singer/songwriter, Joe Terizzi. Joe comes from Jersey City, NJ and has been playing guitar since the age of 10. He started in rock bands in his teens and went through an acoustic period in his early twenties after graduating from Stevens Tech. As a member of Hobo King, he and friend Ed Bank opened for some well known folk acts of the day. But he decided to pursue a career as a chemical patent specialist and put his songwriting chops on the back burner. This job allowed him to travel the world on business and live in New York City for many years. Musical interests eventually won out and in 2012, he decided to release a CD of original songs by playing all the instruments and recording it at home. Since then, he has self-released two more CDs and recently finished his fourth. He spends his winters in Fort Myers and for summers, he recently relocated to West New York, NJ. He enjoys being a member of ACMA and is thrilled to be invited to open up for Jann. Look for his new CD, “Thankful”, soon available on most musical platforms.
