Joel Astley has a strong Pacific Northwest following, and has collected 23 Washington Blues Society's "Best of the Blues" Awards in just seven years. Besides festival appearances and tour dates, he still plays local venues year round and does session recording work; he has appeared on multiple recordings, and is currently working on songs for his next album.
Joel Astley came to music after many years working in the visual arts. He is still an active visual artist; his paintings, prints and drawings are in many private collections, and he has designed many album covers including Quique Gomez and Little Charlie's recent release, Cookin at Greaseland.
