Press-Ready Bio

(scroll to bottom for Alternate and Varied-Length Bios of 200, 100 and 60 words)

Born of Italian immigrants and union activists, this Long Island, NY native knows about the passionate struggle of the American dream. Joe Iadanza is a late bloomer whose songwriting did not become prolific until his early 30’s with the birth of his first child. “I had stopped making music, but there were songs calling out that wanted to be sung – especially after my daughter was born. I wanted my daughter to grow up with a dad who followed his dreams.”

With his sophomore LP, “All in Good Time”, Iadanza has crafted an album of songs that speak for themselves with a rare eloquence. These 10 tracks, recorded by Evan Brubaker (Edie Carey, Rachel Harrington), and mastered by Grammy Award winner David Glasser, have been stripped to their very essence. Featuring Julie Wolf on piano (Ani Difranco, Dar Williams, Bruce Cockburn), Carolin Pook on violin, Craig Akin (Barnaby Bright) on double bass, and Gathering Time on backing vocals, the unadorned production delivers a working-class austerity, revealing a gifted scene-painter and storyteller. Recalling Stevens, Cohen, and Springsteen, Joe’s music is rooted in classic folk: honest and raw.

Creating “All In Good Time” was an entirely new process for Joe. “I went in with a vision of a full-band album that was larger in scope than my first album, but what we created was a very beautiful and quiet folk record. This was a big change for me. I’m starting to write from a deeper part of myself; the part that’s comfortable saying more with less. The part that wants to pull you in a little closer because we all are in this together.”

So, “All in Good Time”… What does that mean to Iadanza?

“If anything, it’s a reminder to be present, to be patient, and to always pick yourself up when you fall.”

Quotes & Buzz

“You rocked the joint! You’re really coming into your own.” John Platt – Host of WFUV’s Sunday Breakfast & On Your Radar at The Living Room, NYC.

“You are so awesome – as a musician and a person. It was great to have you in the studio. Your story and motivation are inspiring to me. Thanks so much for making the WHUD airwaves sound amazing with your music!” Catherine Michaels – Host of Night Rhythms on WHUD.

“Take one part James Taylor, add some John Prine, throw in a dollop of Harry Chapin, and you have the voice of Joe Iadanza. Joe brings a fresh perspective as well, to the storytelling prowess of all three of the aforementioned singer/songwriters…It’s all absolutely delightful.” – Richard Cuccaro – Acoustic Live! in New York City and Beyond.

“Joe, Thanks – to you and the band. It was a special night of music and a wonderful start to the Eclectic’s season. You and the band have an intersting, engaging and unique sound and a lot of chemistry on the stage. We’re delighted to have been the first stop on what I anticipate will be a very sucessful career. When you’ve made it big, and you and the band are touring the country, I hope you’ll tell your agent that it’s okay to book you, once again, at the Eclectic Cafe.” Karen Finkenberg – The Eclectic Cafe – Bay Shore, NY

“Iadanza’s Traveling Salesman combines the best elements of folk/rock and does justice to the legacy of artists such as James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Jim Croce by securing a place for their style of music well into the 21st century. Iadanza is adept at changing gears, infusing energy into more up-tempo tunes and delivering his ballads with quiet grace. I found myself hoping this Traveling Salesman would be here to stay, because whatever he’s selling next, I’m sold.” TheCelebrityCafe.com
