More on the artist:
Joe was born and raised in Minnesota, although he also served two nonconsecutive year-long sentences in North Dakota (one in first grade and one as a freshman at NDSU).
After college, the winds took Joe and his guitar to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Here, Joe settled into a wonderful community, started a family, and decided that life as a musician in a music town was more than enough to fill his musical cup. Over the years, Joe has played guitar on two albums with Yam Cannon, produced a solo acoustic EP called The Gospel of Marx, and written material for The Sliced Bread Jug Band, Bugbear, Grodge, and Sunlimit.
Joe's self titled solo debut on Philville Records is a perfect representation of his varied tastes and styles -- from songs like Lazy South Dakota that evoke feelings of listening to a 1920's jazz ensemble performing on the deck of a stern-wheeler in the Mississippi, to psychedelic mental musings about building a kit-car from a Fiero chassis in Fiero -- Thielen's songwriting is hard to pin down. Much like his omnivorous musical projects in the Chippewa Valley of Wisconsin, Joe can easily jump from stringband & jugband sounds all the way into early 60's garage rock without missing a beat. Tracks like the opening overture of the album, Driving Down Dusty Roads, sound akin to an instrumental anthem penned by Robbie Robertson but with a fuzzed out guitar thrown in along side mandolin. Joe's got gospel tunes on this record, self-effacing songs about the day to day grind of fatherhood, tongue in cheek tunes about having Chat GPT write your obituary, and Golden Shores, which is a beautiful and heartfelt farewell to an old friend who's passing inspired the cover art as well as the song.
Joe's backed up by the Phiville session players (Matthew R. Sayles, Jerod Kaszynski, & Ben Nelson) on the album, as well as Lucas Fischer on baritone guitar, and Olaf Lind on fiddle.
Joe is a one of those rare folks in a music scene that help connect everyone together -- in a modern culture inundated with short attention spans and big egos, he's got a huge heart, a hell of a lot of talent, and a unique message and perspective that's carved right out of the northwoods and prairies of his upbringing.
