“Joel Astley is the Picasso of the Blues.”
— Kid Andersen, Greaseland Studios
Joel Astley — award winning singer and harmonica blues man — is a crowd and dancer favorite, bringing a good-time feel with his bluesy, swingin', mighty tight band. Joel will be fresh off performing at the International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis, TN which happens just the week before he plays the Juke Joint!
Since forming his first band in 2014, Joel Astley quickly established himself as a world-class bandleader, harmonica player, singer, songwriter, and entertainer. Joel's first album, "Seattle to Greaseland", debuted August 18, 2023 at Number 7 on the Blues Billboard Top Ten, and met critical acclaim worldwide. He has since received the Silver Medal Award from the Global Music Awards, Honorable Mention in the 2024 International Songwriting Competition for his song Secondhand Kid, and currently nominated for four 2024 Josie Awards, two 2024 Independent Blues Awards, and two 2024 Blues Blast Music Awards. In addition, Joel has collected 23 Washington Blues Society's "Best of the Blues" Awards in just seven years.
