Joe Piotrowski

Background:

          I was exposed to rock music at a very early age as my parents had a huge collection of records;  my dad listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles,etc, and my mom listening to The Beatles, Johnny Cash,  Roy Clarke, etc.   I loved the sound of rock, especially the guitars.  It wasn’t until I was around 14 or 15 that my dad introduced me to the videotape “Jimi Plays Monterey’’, which documented Jimi Hendrix’ infamous guitar burning performance at The Monterey Pop Festival of 1967.  As soon as I saw and heard what Hendrix did with a guitar, I was hooked.  Two days later I bought my first guitar and amp.

Born - St. Catharines, ON.
          relocated to London  in 2006.

Background:

Youngest of seven siblings who are all musically talented, two of which
operate Thorold Music (thorold music.com) in St. Catharines ON.

My father started a music store in 1964 serving the Niagara Peninsula, now
operated by my brothers Leo and Robert. Growing up there was always
something that related to music that needed to be done, everyone pitched in,
whether it was selling , building or repairing musical equipment to
providing sound systems for various functions to filling in for someone at a
show. So we all learned how to play music at a very early age. Music was
life in the Moretti household.
