Joe Elliott
April 2017
In April I traveled to San Juan Puerto Rico to perform my album, Truth Serum, at InterAmerican University. I was joined by some of Puerto Rico’s finest musicians: Egui Sierra - bass, Raul Maldonado - drums, Angel David Mattos - keyboards and Ricardo Pons - sax. It was a fantastic band. The island is one of my favorite places on the planet. The food was unbelievable, the scenery superb and the company was outstanding. The students at my improvisation clinic at the college were so engaged and attentive. Egui, Raul and I did a jazz trio gig in Old Town in a magical spot under the stars. I was invited to track guitar for Kimberly Michaels’ new album and then play the album release party with an all-star Minneapolis band.
