Effective immediately, Joey will be joining the band for all upcoming tour dates and the recording of a new GRAHAM BONNET BAND album, the follow-up to last year's acclaimed "The Book" release. Graham comments: "It's great to have Joey with us. He brings us even closer to the classic sound of my past records in the live setting and he will be a great asset as we move into the new recordings which will certainly follow the path of what we began with 'The Book'." Joey adds: "I have always loved Graham's voice and his music. His sense of melody and harmonic awareness is just amazing. He creates sophisticated harmonies as easy as I can eat a bowl of cereal.

After achieving cult status for the band's first full length LP, he recorded solo instrumental CDs with legendary label Shrapnel Records, a label responsible for breaking such talent as Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine, Yngwie Malmsteen and Richie Kotzen, to name just a few.
