"Let us make unto the Lord a Joyful Noise…"

When you see Christian Guitarist Joe Ricciardi onstage, you will see true joy of service to the Lord. From his passionate approach to worship tunes to his high-energy solos you get the true impression that playing guitar is truly his calling from the Lord.

Joe can reliably back up a band playing acoustic or rhythm guitar, or jump out in front with a cutting edge solo. Whatever he is called on to do, he does with aplomb. Although you can hear the Allman Brothers’ melodic approach in Joe’s solos and fills, Joe’s roots are as varied as they come – from the soft acoustic sounds of James Taylor, to cutting edge Joe Satriani shredding, or the echo-laced sounds of The Edge. Joe’s strong tenor vocal harmonies can add to any ministry’s "wall of sound", strengthening the worship experience for the event.

Joe’s strongest quality is his ability to blend in with a band at a moment’s notice. His strong faith and interpersonal skills make him an asset to any worship team.

Currently Joe is touring with Bill Drake, the Christian artist serving as the international worship leader for Operation Mobilization. When he is not out on tour, Joe can be seen regularly in the Atlanta area, most often at Dogwood Church in Peachtree City.

Joe can also be heard on Bill Drake’s new CD "Aroma", available from www.billdrake.com.

Joe is available to assist your ministry today – feel free to contact him anytime!
