He stayed true to the roots and traditions of typical ukulele and Hawaiian song composition, while mixing in some Southern flavor of his own. The end result is what you see and hear with “The music in me” A collection of beautiful songs and rhythmic melodies that are easy on the ears and rejuvenating for the soul. Recorded old school on 16 track tape in Joes home studio dubbed “The Green Room”.The creation of this full length studio album, has led Joe to new pursuits. Joe has always loved to play the ukulele, and gets much pleasure out of playing in public. He loves to see how people respond to such a beautiful and iconic sound. The way it can transport people to a mystical time of Hawaiian history that few lived, but millions fantasize about.
Continuing on his path of musical discovery, led Joe to his latest goal, which was to learn to make these beautiful instruments. Like any surfer or musician can tell you, it just feels better when it’s your creation. The surfboard you shape for yourself, just always seems to surf better than the one you bought in a store. And the ukulele you shape for yourself, always fits perfectly in your hands and just sounds better. Joe Green has taken that philosophy and used that to really put his heart and soul into each one of the ukulele’s that he creates.
Joe has spent years learning from many master craftsman, including the well known and respected ukulele maker, Leif Anderson. Leif comes from a long line of ukulele Luthier’s and is a 3rd generation ukulele maker. Making Joe one of his apprentices, the two spent countless hours together prepping exotic Hawaiian woods like koa, mango, and opuma, bending sides, shaping fret boards. Honing their skills with each and every ukulele they’ve made. And the results speak for themselves.
