Joe Waters winner of the 2024 International Blues Challenge for solo/duo joins up with the dynamic band Piper & the Hard Times, who won the 2024 IBC award top band, for a very special evening of music. Waters is a multitalented musician out of Dayton Ohio who plays Blues, Funk, Folk, and Americana music. Piper & the Hard Times delivers intense, eclectic and rhythmically dynamic, blues-based music flavored with R&B, soul and rock.
Waters writes original music and also pays homage to original blues artist by singing old blues standards and deep cuts. This talented and skilled young man has poured his heart and soul into his music for the past 20+ years, and he has received well-deserved acknowledgment for his hard work and dedication. He is currently creating music for his next album, which will be his second album as an Independent Artist.
Piper & the Hard Times has an instrumental prowess that enables them to improvise with flair, while still creating music that has a melodic appeal that can immediately connect with audiences who want both a high degree of musical competence and songs with strong grooves and catchy hooks. The core of the band, Al “Piper” Green, Steve Eagon, and Dave Colella have been playing and writing together for over 20 years. Over the course of three days in February 2024, Nashville-based Piper & the Hard Times held court in the legendary Ronnie’s Place at Soundstage Studios in Nashville to record Revelation. The album features a collection of 12 original songs deeply anchored in the blues from the New Orleans-flavored groove of “Trouble Man” to the Texas shuffle “The Hard Times”, the funk-rock “Heart for Sale”, and the slow ache and emotion of “Twenty Long Years.”
