Guitarist & producer Joe Olnick explores new directions in modern instrumental music. With over eight albums of independently released original material, his work generally falls into two different genres: rock/funk/jazz with his band as well as solo ambient.
The band's recent album, Iguana, tells the musical story of a misunderstood hero who overcomes challenges to eventually get what he is looking for. Jason Velazquez at THE GREYLOCK GLASS called Iguana “a great instrumental collection of cosmic experimentalia, jazz-infused folk-rock, and super-tight funk rock." Andy Goldfinger at 92.7 KOCF FM noted “Joe’s album has that feel of cool. It crosses the boundaries of genre and lets the listener just feel the music.” Jeff Collins at THE ROCK JUKEBOX called Iguana "A really wonderful album. One of the best of the year."
The Downtown album received unique feedback from a range of journalists. MUSIC STREET JOURNAL called his music “classy.” THE MODERN BEAT heard “….a refreshingly original approach to the genre that’s never afraid to step outside of its confines. I could see anyone from fans of Coltrane to Clinton getting a rise out of this instrumental nuthouse.” MELODIC.NET heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ John Fruiscante in Joe’s guitar licks and “the famous Swedish guitar player Janne Schaffer” in Joe’s compositions. MUSIC YOU CAN USE felt Joe’s “trippy, wah-ed out guitar work” was a “glorious reminder of Jimi Hendrix, Tommy Bolin’s funkier jams, or the crazy German rock from the late ‘60s/early ‘70s.” BURNED OUT BORDERS proclaimed that “any fans of hard-hitting, rock-leaned instrumental music with a progressive, experimental backbone will completely fall in love with this group”
Live concerts, frequently in a multimedia context, rely on using exciting improvisational techniques that expand on themes from the recordings. Every show is a unique experience, and have taken place at such notable venues as World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, or art galleries & libraries to explore new creative outlets.
Inspired by artists such as Miles Davis, Brian Eno, and Nels Cline, he also works primarily with his band but keeps creatively fresh over the years by mixing in some ambient projects. According to Joe, "Sometimes it's what is not being played that really is the message. The space around the notes, the mood, the effect that it creates, has always been something I've been interested in, whether it's ambient, rock, jazz, funk, whatever. I just like to create cool moments and get them out to folks."
