Joe Filisko and Eric Noden
The blues and roots music duo of Joe Filisko and Eric Noden make an unforgettable impression. Their jaw-dropping virtuosity enables them to create more layers of sound and feeling than most full bands can summon, and both are high-energy, ultra-rhythmic performers. The collective result—in both their live shows and their recordings—are charged, dramatic performances that are simultaneously powerful and sophisticatedly subtle.
