Joe Altier has been singing and pounding piano keys since the age of 5 when his Mom started teaching him music in smalltown Central Square, NY. Embracing everything from Frank Sinatra and Otis Redding to Garth Brooks and Metallica Joe’s musicality and repertoire of over 4000 songs on the ready is simply astounding. The growing collection of Joe’s original music is creatively inspired and draws from his gift for lyricism and ability to connect with his listeners.

Joe’s calling came when he assumed lead vocals for area hard rock band Brand New Sin. Three albums later they headlined across the US & UK, were featured in the motion picture “School of Rock”, and appeared on MTV and ESPN when famed WWE wrestler The Big Show tapped Joe’s soaring vocals for his infamous entrance song “Crank It Up”. Joe was honoured when he was asked again in 2021 to do Paul Wight’s (The Big Show’s) new song “New Room, New View” when he transitioned to AEW. 

With over 5,000 events performed since 2008, Joe continues to play solo, record, and collaborate with his band to sold-out shows all across the state. Joe was even invited to audition for NBC’s “The Voice” after taking home Central New York’s Best Male Vocalist award for seven straight years! 

With the changes to the entertainment industry in 2020, Joe’s focus turned to his online presence and developing his audience virtually. Achieving Partner status with Twitch was quickly met, and with nearly 30,000 followers to date and over 250,000 hours spent by viewers watching Joe’s live performances, it has proven to be a new way to connect with music fans worldwide.

Of course, none of Joe’s success would be possible without so many loyal fans and music lovers but it also takes a really strong family and endless support from those who work behind the scenes! With a weekly podcast on K-ROCK, a new health and wellness podcast in development, new songs covered daily on Facebook, and a dedicated Live Stream on Twitch, perhaps now more than ever he is more than Just Joe.
