  • about me

    Joe Yoga is an artist, facilitator, and incorrigible force of nature based in New York City. He is working these days mainly in black and white, guitar, cassette tape, hand claps, acrylic, and the burdens of rage, love, and exhaustion towards "a sort of land-where-blues-began attentiveness to the half-broken heartbeat of a sound" (Nick Courage, A Mutual Respect Books and Music).

    As a musician he appears at venues all over NYC and his first album "The Dreamless Sea" is available for free download at www.goyogago.com, His new album "Life Out East" will be available in Spring 2010.

    As a stage performer he was recently featured in Kill the Band (Audience Choice Award Winner, 2010 Frigid Festival) and Ramblings of a Gentleman Scumbag (Imperial Award / Donor's Choice, 2010 Frigid Festival). He is also half of the house band at Penny's Open Mic, a massively popular Tuesday mic in the East Village (www.pennysopenmic.com), and produces a monthly show "Grudge Match: Music vs. Comedy" on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, featuring the best up and coming musicians and comedians in the city.
