Joe Maher

Joseph Maher was born and raised in Washington, D.C., and initially inspired by both his father's record collection and attending blues concerts in his hometown, Maher had learned to play the drums by his early teenage years. After graduation Maher assembled a three piece blues/jazz ensemble, before touring as part of Tom Principato's backing band. He later put together a five piece band known as Big Joe & the Dynaflows, who specialised in dance-oriented jump blues.
