A San Francisco based singer songwriter/composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer; he is pushing the envelope of what we know as pop music. His compositions are a blend of old-school funk/R&B mixed with the sounds of late 60's/70's rock and topped off with a jazz/avant-garde influence, coming together to create a style entirely all his own. Joe has appeared for thousands at festivals and venues including Lincoln Center's Avery Fischer Hall in NYC, Promise for Peace, the Berkeley Jazz Festival, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, and the San Francisco North Beach Jazz Festival.

In the world of pop music, where lip-syncing and backing tracks are all but ubiquitous, OONA is the authentic article: great musicianship, a truly unique voice and a raw, vibrant stage presence, delivering well-crafted songs and smart lyrics with passion and intent every time. OONA began as a writing partnership between Dave Tweedie and Oona Garthwaite, her early songwriting efforts elevated and nurtured by Dave's ability to produce, arrange, and write one hell of a chorus. When their song "Tore My Heart" was featured on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" in December 2009, OONA climbed the iTunes charts, peaking at #35 on the Top Pop Downloads - a mighty accomplishment for any unsigned artist. The attention helped OONA to sell out San Francisco's Bottom of the Hill and Red Devil Lounge. Classic yet modern, ambitious yet heartfelt, this band will surely make you dance, and perhaps weep. Don't sleep on it.
