And Introducing...
Joe Welk
Bass Guitar/Vocals
​
Joe's bass grooves make you want to dance all night long!!
His smile is infectious and genuine, and his smile and stage presence are undeniable.
Like his band mates, Joe has the 'versatile' gene. When he's not playing bass in JamShack, you might find him sitting in with various acts playing guitar, bass, slide, and steel guitar.
Before joining JamShack in 2012, Joe recorded three CDs and toured the United States with the regionally popular band "Melefluent".
