BIO
Joe Laureano has been performing rock-&-roll professionally his entire adult life. A graduate of Otterbein College with a degree in Music Theory & Composition, Joe got his start in dueling pianos at the age of 19. He is well known all across the country and has performed from Miami to Seattle, and from Baltimore to San Diego. 

The ability to read a room comes naturally to Joe. He knows when and how to create a chill, relaxed ambiance during the dinner hour, and when it is time to kick it into gear and lead a raucous party. Joe has an impressive repertoire of 1,000+ songs, spanning more than seven decades of music: standards, oldies, classic rock, pop, new age, country, Top 40, adult contemporary, alternative, and hard rock.  

Joe is a professional, full-time musician . . . and a busy one at that!
