Homecoming: Joe’s here this weekend!

Joe, comin' home....
He graduated from Friday Harbor High in 1987, and lived on San Juan Island till 1997, when he moved to the big city (that would be Seattle) to make his way there.
During that time, Joe Bongiorno has become one of the leading performers on the internet’s leading piano music radio websites, Whisperings, and has performed all over the country. His last four CDs have sold well (his second’s cover, “Destined,” features former islander Teresa Smith’s watercolor of South Beach), and he’s become kind of a big deal.
I can tell you – I listen to his CDs all the time, because they’re easy to work to in the office, and nice to have playing on a quiet evening at home.
You have a chance to say hey to Joe this weekend when he drops by Island Studios to play on Friday and Saturday from 2-4pm…you’ll hear him play, and you’ll want to take his music home with you. Trust me on that one.
