Joe
Martino started his musical career at the age of seven , having studied

Accordion in Italy. Son of Italian immigrants, Joe reflected upon a
culture of which music was part of the fabric and spirit. As part of his performance, Joe combines a classic accordion sound with MIDI technology to create a "one man orchestral effect". He has appeared in numerous Italian festivals, concerts, commercials and other venues and before politicians and other celebrities. He has film credits and worked with entertainers Al Martino and Henry Mancini. Joe sings "Sinatra" with emotion and conviction, and audience participation is expected during his renditions of the Tarantellas and other accordion classics.
