GUITAR Clean-Head Joe Buscema was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1968. He grew up there for several years, listening to a mixture of old-time rock-n-roll, 70's rock, and the Blues. At about age 9 or 10, he moved to St. Petersburg, Florida with his mother and father. It was around this time he began to learn guitar from his father, George. By the age of 15, Joe was a self-sufficient player but wanted to learn more. This is where older brother and well known Cincinnati Blues man, "King" Phillip Buscema comes in. Phil and Joe were separated for many years but one thing always kept them close - The Blues. Joe began to ingest traditional blues from Phil while incorporating his own style of southern-rock based blues guitar. "Clean-Head" was a name given to him by brother King Phillip after a night of cutting heads. In addition to blues, Joe has been a part of other rock acts including Smackhead and Circle to Circle. He has toured Europe and throughout the States. INFLUENCES: Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Page, Lynyrd Skynyrd, B. B. King, Phil Buscema |
