Blind Joe North Dakota's Outlaw Country Son

I am a 32-year-old totally blind singer/songwriter born and raised in and around the Fargo North Dakota area.

My music is difficult to classify because I blend country, punk, rock, soul and blues. I like to call it "real" music 'cause I play and sing from the heart. Most people, however, just call it good drinkin music. I believe that good music always comes straight from your heart and soul!

The rowdy non-stop Country Soul that is Blind Joe is as infectious as a night of Jack Daniels and a few Hank Williams songs on the jukebox. Coming from nowhere to being the most successful musician in the Fargo-Moorhead area in a little over 2 years, Blind Joe has shared the stage with numerous top local and regional acts over the past few years, as well as national recording artists such as David Allan Coe, Craig Morgan, Bret Michaels of Poison, Jackyl, The Kentucky Headhunters, Michale Graves of the Misfits, Joe Buck of Hank III's band, John Lee Hooker Jr., John Hiatt and many, many more.

Recording an album a year for the past three years, 'People Like Me,' and 'Soul Singin’ Son of a Bitch,' have already sold well over 4,000 copies. Touring non-stop all over the region, Blind has played to thousands in the past two and a half years, from bars to theatres to arenas, sold massive amounts of Blind Joe merch and become a staple in the music community. Gearing up for non-stop shows throughout the fall and winter months in North Dakota and a Southern tour this spring, Blind Joe is tapping his way quickly into the hearts and minds of people all over the United States.

On 2016 I was a contestant on The Voice on Blake Shelton’s team.
