    Joey Tenuto Blues Band

    Joey Tenuto, Jr started playing in his father’s band at a very young age. Even as a child he was always on the road with his father, meeting and playing with many legends of the Blues and Rock music. His father, Joe Senior, toured non stop with many legendary musicians, but would try to talk Joey Jr out of pursuing a career in music. Joey is following in his father’s footsteps and has been touring since he was 18 years old. Based in Palm Beach, you can find him at clubs and festivals throughout Florida. He sometimes plays with Muggie Doo, the bandleader of Buddy Miles Express, and David Pastorius of the Pat Travers Band. Joey loves the road and has been touring non stop around North America as well as Canada and Europe.
