Biography
Joe Fahey is a Minneapolis-based songwriter & guitar player who "daylights" as a freelance graphic designer. He has played bass and guitar in various cellar-dweller, and occasionally-gigging, rock and blues bands starting in the late 70s; always careful to stay out of the way of the strobe light.
Around 1990, he formed a band called Carp 18 with Paul Schmitt and Dave Helgerson, They were together until 2000, releasing a cool CD called Russian Racehorse in 1997.
Carp 18 took a record length hiatus to "get it together" following the infamous Y2K Disaster and its lingering effects. But, everything seems cool now and Carp 18 is back together playing & writing music and celebrating the release of their 2nd album/record/CD bug rump.
Joe also released his solo debut "Tote Bag" on October 31st (Halloween), 2006.
Joe also has played in an acoustic duo with Tom Herbers, acoustic jazz standards with vocalist Sarah Greer and currently plays in a 3-piece acoustic cover band (Johnny Cash/ Beatles/DEVO) called "The Bottom 40" with djembe-ist Kraig Olmstead and bassist Mike Mahin.
