Starting his musical career in Chicago\u2019s clubs and festivals, Joe lived and breathed the city culture which serves as the foundation of his art to this day.<\/p>\r\n<p>After moving to Colorado in the mid 1970\u2019s, Joe was immediately welcomed into the music community with his Chicago Style folksy blues. Not long after, Joe was signed to a major recording label and a world-wide management team where he toured extensively and graced the stage with a variety of national talent such as Journey, Hall and Oates, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Emmylou Harris, Tanya Tucker, Marcia Ball, and more!<\/p>\r\n<p>In 1996, as a collaboration between Joe and fellow musicians, he produced The Cup-a-Jo Band. Comprised of some of the best regional talent, the Cup-a-Jo band was able to quickly establish themselves as one of the top billing acts in the area. Fast forward to the 2020\u2019s, Joe took advantage of the \u201cdowntime\u201d COVID provided and wrote and produced his first solo project and sixth album release. As an Americana Blues singer\/songwriter, Joe\u2019s raw vocals, street wise lyrics and polished guitar playing, absolutely shine and capture the essence of his background and musical identity.<\/p>\r\n<p>Those of you who have been in Colorado for a while have probably caught a glimpse or have listened to Joe as his recents performances include KRFC 88.9 Live A Lunch, Taste of Colorado, Cherry Creek Arts Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, KAFM 88.1 Live @ The Radio Room, Botanic Gardens, Cedaredge Applefest, Breckenridge Brewery, KUVO 89.3 Live on the Air, Blue and BBQ for Better Housing, along with venues up and down the front range.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you have not had the pleasure of attending a Cuo-a-Jo performance then visit http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/ and stop by for a listen, you will be glad you did.<\/p>\r\n<p>Cup-a-Jo\u2019s latest project was produced by Joe Oeser and Pablo G with co-production by Colin Bricker, all the songs were recorded and produced, mixed and mastered at Mighty Fine Products in Colorado.<\/p>\r\n<p>Listen to: Joe Oeser (Cup-a-Jo) Amazon Music\/Apple Music\/ Pandora\/Spotify\/Shazam\/You Tube\/SoundCloud<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Visit and subscribe to our YOUTUBE channel at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEEFo3ku9nSfLumvu-IBNMw\"><br \/><em>Cup a Jo Youtube<\/em><\/a> and \u00a0give us a &#8220;Like&#8221; and &#8220;Subscribe&#8221;!<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:media-text -->\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<!--Turn off for now\r\n<h3 style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">New CD just arrived November 2022!\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3 style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Joe Oeser solo CD- Between The Dark and The Light<\/h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/music-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-691 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-Betwee-The-Dark-And-The-Light-300x225.png\" alt=\"New CD November 2022 - Between The Dark and The Light\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-Betwee-The-Dark-And-The-Light-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-Betwee-The-Dark-And-The-Light-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-Betwee-The-Dark-And-The-Light-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-Betwee-The-Dark-And-The-Light-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-Betwee-The-Dark-And-The-Light-2048x1536.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Enjoy the new CD on the following:<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/search\/Joe%20Oeser\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-492 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/icon-spotify125.png\" alt=\"Joe Oeser on Spotify\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Better-Days-Joe-Oeser\/dp\/B09PYMZJXG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-493 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/icon-primemusic125.png\" alt=\"Joe Oeser on Amazon Prime Music\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\r\nhttps:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/search?term=joe%20oeser\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-506\" src=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/icon-applemusic125.png\" alt=\"Joe Oeser on Apple Music\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"\r\nhttps:\/\/www.pandora.com\/artist\/joe-oeser\/ARJP2Z4kcp2m3JZ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-507\" src=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/icon-pandora125.png\" alt=\"Joe Oeser on Pandora\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" \/><\/a>. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-516 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/icon-shazam-lt-125.png\" alt=\"Joe Oeser on Shazam\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEEFo3ku9nSfLumvu-IBNMw\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-513 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cup-a-jo-band.com\/Denver\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/icon-youtube125.png\" alt=\"Joe Oeser on Youtube\" width=\"150\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>. -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Oeser was born in Chicago and from an early age was heavily influenced by The Windy City\u2019s blues, folk, jazz, R&amp;B, and funk scene.
