Details:
Joe Taschetta (pronounced "tas-ket''-ta") has been a folk singer since the early sixties. He has appeared at hundreds of rallies and concerts for peace and justice and other progressive causes, typically performing his own topical songs along with traditionals, some of which he learned aboard the sloop "Clearwater" on the Hudson River.
Joe plays a number of instruments including banjo, guitar, autoharp, and harmonica. Best known as a five-string banjo player, Joe''s book "The Five-String Banjo Primer" or "If ‘A’ Is ‘May’, Then ‘F#’ Must Be ‘February''" was his master’s thesis and was published by Iowa State University Press. It has been helping beginners learn music theory and apply it to stringed instuments since the seventies.
Taschetta has performed throughout the Midwest and Europe. All of his performances focus on audience participation. He believes the music comes alive when it is shared.
Taschetta has toured with the Iowa Arts Council and the Indiana Arts Commission in community programs and as an artist-in-schools. As a solo performing artist, he has received grants through the National Endowment for the Arts. Joe is also an accomplished visual artist.
