Joe Chinnici

Joe Chinnici will tell you that he is first and foremost a musician, specifically a guitarist. His talents, however, are not that limited. He is also a singer/songwriter, and can play (very well) drums, bass, keyboards and will dabble with various string & wind instruments as well. He is also an accomplished Front Of House soundman, presently nearly exclusively for The Fab Faux – THE best Beatle tribute band on the planet. The Fab Faux consist of Jimmy Vivino (Conan O’Brien), Will Lee (David Letterman), Rich Pagano (Rosanne Cash), Jack Petruzzelli (Joan Osborne), & Frank Agnello. Joe has also worked with Willie Nile, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Sandy Gennaro (Joan Jett), Mark Farner (Grand Funk) and many others. Joe also ran FOH for the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson’s fundraiser in New York City in 2006 and will be doing it again in 2007.

Joe uses HERCULES guitar stands GS415B, GS402B and GSP38WB, microphone stands MS631B, MS755B, MS205B and MB250B, music stand BS415B, lighting stand LS700B, speaker stand SS700B, and band instrument stand DS530B.

"Have you ever purchased a product and thought to yourself 'What in the world were they thinking when they designed this thing?'  Well it’s obvious to me that ALL Hercules stands were designed and created by people that have spent their lives on stage and in the studio thinking 'there’s got to be a better way.'  Hercules is the Jaguar of the stand industry without the Jaguar price.  Hercules is the best.”

Joe was born and bred in Valley Stream, New York. He began playing guitar at the age of 7. He then began writing his own songs and was a pivotal member of one band or another from around age 15. The most significant of those being “Pipe Dreams”, which not only had a very large fan base on Long Island, NY, but also had a few songs that made an impact on the college charts.  He is currently pursuing a solo career. Joe has released three solo CDs, on which he not only plays guitar, but all instruments heard therein, plus sings, writes, produces and engineers on his own. He typically will go out on one self-promoted JBL sponsored tour of the U.S. per year with additional help from Gibson Gear, Harman Kardon & Infinity. He is very proud to now have HERCULES in his corner as well.
