Composer ● Violinist ● Pianist
I compose melodic, expressive music for piano and violin, with an emphasis on peaceful, accessible music that tells a story without words.
After decades as a professional performer known as FiddleJoe, I now devote most of my musical life to composition from my home in Panamá.
Roman Goddesses is a collection of twelve short solo piano pieces, each inspired by the character of a Roman goddess. Written for intermediate pianists, the pieces are melodic, contemporary, accessible, and designed simply to be enjoyable to play.
My music centers on expressive piano and violin writing, from peaceful solo pieces to more lyrical and dramatic works. I also have a large body of singer-songwriter music about life and the experiences that shape us, and those songs remain an important part of who I am as a musician. Here are a few recordings that represent the range of music I enjoy creating most.
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began as a violinist, later adding piano, composition, songwriting, recording, and decades of live performance. Today, I spend most of my time composing music for piano and violin, while continuing to write songs and perform occasionally as FiddleJoe.
