Joe Wilkins

Joe Wilkins is a Cape Ann based singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist. Joe writes songs about real life, often with stories about real people, as well as situations we can all relate to and places we’ve all been. His lyrics are universally accessible, and create a sense of really being present in the narrative of the song. With skillfully interwoven imagery of past and present, Joe’s songs blend Americana roots with a modern folk, and at times, pop sensibility.

Conor Hennessy

I have tried not writing songs - it never ends well. It is the only thing I like doing and sort of have a knack for. I try to get better every day. I have lived in Massachusetts my whole life, and enjoy the characters and going-on’s around me. I love turning them into stories. Sometimes I don’t even have to exaggerate much. I have a friend I who’s advice I take seriously, and she said I should have a bio. I don’t really know what else to put here except life is too short to get to work on time, and time is too precious to lose.
