October 13, 2020Joe Elevated Level of Fun!
Joe Savia is musically talented (guitar/harmonica/vocals) and he elevated my husband’s 50th birthday party to a whole other level. The song list was the perfect blend of songs for us to sing and dance along. He had great communications and an easy setup, which was great since we had to move inside due to unexpected rain. We will definitely call on Joe again!

Joe provided sound equipment and sound technician duties for an all-ages open mic and did so flawlessly with great skill, patience and professionalism. He clearly loves what he does. Joe arrived early, stayed late, and took care of everything with an easy-going demeanor, which assured us a highly successful event and a pleasant experience. I highly recommend his services.

What to expect
When you hire me, you’re getting a performance built around songs people know and enjoy. I focus on familiar favorites that create a great atmosphere—whether that’s easy, laid-back music in the background or something more upbeat that gets people singing along.
My setlist covers a wide range of classic rock, country, and well-known hits across generations. From artists like Elvis Presley, Van Morrison, and Bob Seger to more modern country favorites like Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown Band, the goal is simple—play music your guests already connect with.
For clients, that means a smooth, professional experience from start to finish. I show up prepared, keep things running on time, and make sure the music fits the moment—whether it’s a relaxed cocktail hour, a dinner setting, or a more lively crowd.
I also use professional-grade sound equipment, so everything is clear, balanced, and at the right volume for your space. It’s set up to be fully portable, which means I can perform just about anywhere without hassle.

Influences and inspiration
My influences come from a mix of classic rock, country, and timeless singer-songwriter music. Artists like Elvis Presley, Van Morrison, and Bob Seger have had a big impact on my approach to performing—focusing on strong melodies, storytelling, and songs that connect with people.
On the country side, artists like Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown Band have influenced the more laid-back, feel-good side of my set.
Overall, I’m drawn to music that stands the test of time—songs people recognize right away and enjoy hearing live. That’s what I try to bring into every performance.
Setup requirements
