Joe Yoga is an artist and producer based in New York City.

As a singer/songwriter he regularly plays venues all over NYC and beyond. He released his most recent album, Life Out East, in September 2010 and is currently prepping a summer tour that will take him to Colorado, California, and Canada. His album "The Dreamless Sea", an album of earlier recordings collected from now-unavailable releases, is available for free download at bandcamp.com.

He plays bass in Killy Dwyer's punk performance-art comedy rock supergroup Kill the Band and also in Coach, his side project with Stewart's Andrea Tarka. He is also a regular featured performer at John Murdock's God Tastes Like Chicken.

He is working these days mainly in black and white, guitar, cassette tape, hand claps, acrylic, and the burdens of rage, love, and exhaustion towards "a sort of land-where-blues-began attentiveness to the half-broken heartbeat of a sound" (Nick Courage, A Mutual Respect Books and Music).

As a stage performer he was recently featured in Natalie Underwood's Buckle Up, in Kill the Band (Audience Choice Award Winner, 2010 Frigid Festival) and Ramblings of a Gentleman Scumbag (Imperial Award / Donor's Choice, 2010 Frigid Festival).

He produces a monthly show, "Grudge Match: Music vs. Comedy", featuring the best up and coming musicians and comedians in the city, and an annual Christmas spectacular, "A Very Yoga Christmas", which will be celebrating its 4th year in 2011.
