Deaf Joe writes folk songs.. sometimes romantic, sometimes dreamlike, always cathartic. He is constantly writing and performing, also works writing scores for contemporary dance and theatre productions and also sometimes plays live with Katie Kim.

Joe's first album is out on February 17th, 2012 through Dublin's Delphi Label (www.delphilabel.com).

To date he has released the 'Forest Fires EP' (Oct '09, limited edition), the 'Winter's Glow EP' (Oct '10) and 'The Holy Water EP' (Mar '11). His as-yet unreleased recording 'Joanna' found its way into the hands of the 'Stranded' blogpost last year and became their favourite song of 2010 (www.stranded.ie).
