Joel Pingitore
Joel Pingitore, lead guitar player, was born in Kenosha, WI in 1981 to Debbie and Pete Pingitore. Joel has been playing guitar for approximately 11 years. "It's all I really ever wanted to do."

I was introduced to the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1996 by my father, who managed to raise me listening to the
classic rock music of his youth. The love of music is our bond.
I faintly remember hounding my father to let me use his headphones, and needing help to use them.

Joel has always played Fender guitars, getting his first at age 10 from his parents. He has played guitar with a group called "Ground Wire", and played bass for an orchestra.

"I guess this band is ultimately the greatest release I have ever been blessed with. These guys give me the rare opportunity to reach out and try to just brighten some ones day.
That means the world to me."
