Along with his formal training, he has extensive performing and recording experiences ranging from jazz, rock and pop, to experimental music.

On this tour he also backed up international artists Art Garfunkel and country legend, Clint Black. Joe has been with the international recording group Incendio for the last six years. In typical fashion, 2003 started with a bang for Incendio as they opened for Jimmy Haslip's group "Jing-Chi" at the NAMM show featuring Robben Ford and Vinnie Colaiuta. The following day Incendio performed at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City Utah, and playing for the ASCAP showcase. They shared the stage with such greats as Carmin Lundi, Daniel Lanois, Emmylou Harris and Johnny Lang. The music never stops with Incendio's latest release titled "Incendio" featuring Latin guitar world fusion at it's best. Incendio's lllumination charted on Billboards "New Age" listing at number 13 for five consecutive weeks in 2002.
