Welcome To Joe Cook Online!
Welcome to my new home on the information super-highway! I am launching this site so that I can keep everyone up to date on what projects I am working on, as well as when and where I'll be playing. I have begun work on a solo demo and hope to have it finished in the near future.
I have also just recently joined the band "Seeds". The band, formed by lead singer and guitarist Josh Bermudez includes Matt Royce on drums as well as Matt Mangano on bass guitar & Nate Mangano on lead guitar.(Both formerly of the band "Pure", whom I opened for in December 2002). I played my first show with them at the Church of the Nazarene in Collingdale, PA on January 16th and we had a great time. Click on the picture below to check out a Photo Album of pics from that show and our rehearsal the day prior.

The church invited me to come back and do a solo performance this morning. They were celebrating the 5th Anniversary of their youth group and it was an incredible event to be a part of. I played a four song set-list that inlcuded:
You Are My Reason
Jesus (I'm Glad You Came Around)
I Just Don't Know (Stone In My Hand)
Believe It Or Not
It was very exciting because I was able to debut two songs this morning. "You Are My Reason" was written 5 years ago with my friend Josh Seltzer (also formerly of the band "Pure) but until now, has never been played live.
The bridge to "Jesus (I'm Glad You Came Around)" was written this morning between 12:30 and 1:00 AM. Click on the picture below to check out a Photo Album of pics from this morning's performance.
There are few shows that are currently being planned, both solo and with "Seeds" and I'll let you know as soon as they are confirmed. I'll be updating this site regularly so keep checking back for updates. Until next time,
God Bless
Joe Cook
