Joel Guptill

About
Joel Guptill is an authentic, joyful, and people-loving performer, songwriter, and artist. Pulling from a diverse set of influences, his live performance is nothing less than memorable. Whether playing classic covers from the likes of Billy Joel, Queen, and Roy Orbinson to current day hits from John Mayer, Harry Styles, and Ed Sheeran, he is sure to play something you love.
His original music is a mixture of catchy pop/blues guitar (John Mayer, Maroon Five, Gavin Degraw), soulful melodies (Freddie King, Allen Stone, Anderson East), and heartfelt lyrics (The Beatles, Don Mclean, Ben Rector). If you asked him to say what his music is like in a few words he would respond with the following: “groove, soul, and rock & roll!”
He features regularly with the Pitch Meeting collective (one of Nashville’s top rated house bands) and has had the honor of performing at places such as Whiskey Jam, Brooklyn Bowl, and Bonnaroo festival.
Repertoire consists of classics, soul/motown, pop, and a bit of country (but not the focus)

Pub – Bar
We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.

Birthday Party
We booked Lee Alexander as an Elvis impersonator for our mum’s 60th, and he was fantastic! He totally looked and sounded the part, and everyone loved it. He really made the night fun, and he was such a nice man too. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate – thanks so much, Lee!
