Press-Ready Bio

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 wanted my daughter to grow up with a dad who followed his dreams.”

With his largely fan-funded sophomore LP, All in Good Time, Joe Iadanza has crafted an album of songs that speak for themselves with a rare eloquence. These 10 tracks, produced by Evan Brubaker (Edie Carey, Rachel Harrington, Jenee Halstead), 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. On All In Good Time, the song is truly the thing. And with hard work, the dream becomes a reality – all in good time.

Joe Iadanza is currently on tour in the US and Europe.

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.

Patchogue Jam 4’s opening act, Joe Iadanza, got the night going with bassist Craig Akin and drummer Christian Coleman, doffing his cap with country grace and filling the hall with an apocalyptic, warm resonance. Joe hadn’t played electric on stage in twenty years until that night, and yet he seemed perfectly at ease, even patient, moving, playing on the suspensions of the crowd. His songs deal with poverty and lost love, and are steeped in the blue-collar imagery of highways, wrecking balls, and traveling salesmen. Despite the deep sentiment of his music, Joe commands the stage with a subtle, unencumbered energy. Tim Marsh – The Patchogue Patch

“Joe is more than just a man with a hat. He’s a talented songwriter with a unique vocal style and presentation. Yes, the Bruce Springsteen comparison is apparent. Like Bruce, he’s a master of the same kind of story-song.” – Kathy Sands-Boehmer – The Me & Thee Coffeehouse (Marblehead, MA)

“Iadanza is a wonderfully poignant storyteller…His singing has a warmth that reminds me af Harry Chapin” – Darius Rips – Oliver Di Place Music Blog

“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.

“Your new CD is so edgy and interesting, so Leonard Cohen-like! I will play more from it. Your “Skin and Bones” song is my fave on the album, and my listeners liked it, too, got all positive feedback.” – Lilli Kuzma – WDCB FM

“It’s a very beautiful project – never stop – never give up!! Proud to add our support” – Dawn Dale – The Texas Rebel Radio Network
