Richmond, BC – Best known for his popular licks, musician Joe Walsh has entertained the masses and captivated his peers for more than three decades with such classics as “Funk #49”, “Walk Away”, “Life’s Been Good”, “” and “”. Walsh had played with many bands but it wasn’t until 1969 when he joined the Cleveland based power trio, The that he got a taste of sweet success. The Gang released four in the early 70’s … two of which went gold. Joe then decided to head west to Colorado where he put together the trio, Barnstorm in 1972 and released two albums. Still feeling there was something more for him, Joe released his first solo in 1974. So What proved Joe a legitimate solo act with a limitless career on the horizon. Then in 1976, he was asked by the to replace guitarist bringing a harder rock sound to the group. At the end of the year, they released their fifth studio album, Hotel which went gold reaching #1 on the Billboard Charts followed by The Long Run (1979) and (1980) reaching Billboard’s #1 and #6 respectively.

At the same time, Joe released two solo albums ...You Can’t Argue With a Sick Mind (1976) and But Seriously Folks (1978) which boasted the notorious hit, “Life’s Been Good”. During the 14-year hiatus of the Eagles, Joe focussed on his solo career releasing several albums including There Goes The Neighborhood (1981), The Confessor (1985) and Ordinary Average Guy (1991). In 1994, the Eagles reunited for the release of a new live album titled which reached #1 on the Billboard Charts and sparked one of the most successful tours in music history. Joe has toured regularly with the band since then and the group released their seventh studio album, in 2007. Joe has just completed his first solo album in two decades. Analog Man -- produced by Electric Light Orchestra’s Jeff Lynne – will be released in June and ranges from the Indian- ragga influenced “The Band Played On” to the twangy “Lucky That Way” … both of which feature brother-in-law, on drums. Currently Joe is preparing for his solo summer tour across North America which will include a performance at the River Rock Casino Resort on September 1, 2012.
