Biography
As a young child in the Bronx, Joe Giacoio was abandoned in a music store and raised by a pack of acoustic guitars. This explains a lot.

Giacoio has won a number of awards for his unique guitar playing style and quirky songwriting. His national TV debut was on the long-running “Up All Night with Rhonda Shear” on the USA Network and he has also been featured on the nationally syndicated Dr. Demento radio show.

Giacoio performs concerts at venues up and down the East Coast. He also gives lectures on guitar history, bringing with him vintage Martin flattops and Gibson arch-tops, Harp guitars, National steel-bodied guitars, and Dobro and Weissenborn lap steels.

Songwriting awards include:

Great American Song Contest - First Prize: Lyrics Category
Plowshares Songwriting Finalist, Pennsylvania
South Florida Songwriting Contest Finalist
Avalon Emerging Songwriter Contest Finalist, Virginia
Songwriters Showcase at the New Jersey Folk Festival
