The Public Access Podcast 596 - Joe Bourgeois: Blues Musician on the Rise to International Fame
The Public Access Podcast with Joe Bourgeois - October 18, 2024
In this engaging episode of The Public Access Podcast, host Rusty Diamond, C.H., former professional wrestler, stand-up comedian, musician, and hypnotist, brings you an inspiring conversation with blues musician Joe Bourgeois. Joe has an impressive musical career that spans decades, from playing in country bands to becoming a celebrated blues artist. Recently, he won the DC Blues Society's Battle of the Bands and is now preparing to compete on the international stage in Memphis at the International Blues Challenge.
Joe talks about his journey from Arkansas to West Virginia, where he played in various genres before returning to his blues roots. He shares insights about learning blues guitar from his grandfather’s Robert Johnson records, his weirdest gigs (including one at a surprise swingers' party!), and how TikTok helped him boost his recognition. Joe also balances his love for music with a remote IT career, which allows him to continue gigging and pursuing his passion.
This episode delves into Joe’s upcoming plans to perform at the International Blues Challenge, network with fellow musicians, and continue growing his social media presence. Hear how he balances life as a musician and IT specialist and what lies ahead in his music career.
