BIO: Joe Lester
Originally from Kodiak, Alaska. Joe ended up in Seattle for junior high and high school, finally moving to LA for college and to persue a career as a professional musician.
"I have been very fortunate to have music as my only income for the past 12 years. Life has been a dream, I pinch myself all of the time."
Joe has been playing bass guitar for 20 years, starting on electric guitar when he was 14. Since moving to LA, Joe has played over 2,500 live shows with various cover bands and original projects!
Possibly Joe's most well-known band is The Atomic Punks (Van Halen Tribute), but Joe has also jammed with California (original band), Bootie Quake (70's disco covers) & 5150 (Van Hagar Tribute Band). Joe has also subbed on bass for Metal Skool/Metal Shop/Steel Panther (80's Metal Tribute), The Thornbirds (original band), The King Mixers, Spazzmatics (80's New Wave Tribute), and most of the Perfect World Entertainment cover bands (Boogie Knights, Disco Inferno, Grooveline, M-80's etc.).
Joe's other passions include Ice Hockey and Travel. Playing Ice Hockey tournaments in foreign countries is an unbelievable experience!
