Joe Kirchner’s Journey in Bozeman’s Music Scene
Joe is in charge of the synthesizer, piano, and “keytar” realm. Way back in 1988 he saw a keytar being rocked in a music video and decided it was the instrument for him.
Joe began studying classical piano at 7 thanks to some stern guidance from his mother, who is also responsible for gifting him the legendary pink beehive wig. A die hard Pink Floyd fan since he was 13, the enthusiasm you see in Joe’s performances is always genuine, stating: “I always try to put myself in the shoes of the listener.”
Other musical endeavours include The Knowshows, M.O.T.H., Nordberg, and Fluorescent Brown. Joe also manages an all-terrain rental company and is a PASSIONATE certified mechanic… he also enjoys long walks on the beach and playing love songs on his keytar.
