Joseph Anthony Ricciardo

Joseph's country-rock style mixes powerful, memorable melodies with deep meaningful lyrics that will also have you singing along. He will invite you in. You will connect.

JAR is a true country-rock songwriter who write just a much for you as he does for himself. As an independent musician, he isn't chained to any label or corporate overseer. He can make music the way it used to be made. For himself and his fans. For you. You're getting him as a songwriter. Not what a political/corporate label wants him to be so they can control.

Coming VERY soon:
“I'm really excited about these two albums I'm working on - 'Songs For the Rest of Us' and 'The Promise'. They're country-rock but a smoother acoustic sound. Getting back to the “You Know It's Me” days. That's really my sound. Think new Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Duane Eddy!. And I finally found my cowboy guitar sound!!! ….and it only took 40 years!” - JAR

P.S. “One of the records features me on piano! Didn't know I could do that? Neither did I! That one's Praise and Worship with my country-rock charm. So far we're calling that one 'The Promise' ”
