Joseph Messing is a singer songwriter living in Chicago, Illinois. Though a musician his entire life, he first began performing his own writing in Chicago in 2001. At that time he developed a very strong following and performed throughout the city leading up to the release of his self-produced CD, Confessions in Verse. After the release of his CD in 2003, he was joined by Dan Huber, a classically trained bassist playing both upright bass and electric bass. The pair went on to perform with several different variations of band members over a two year period, and after a long hiatus, have now added a drummer (Ken Thompson) and guitarist (Antony Ablan) to their act, rounding out the sound and groove. Their return has revealed a good deal of growth and change in the writing. Originally centered by emotive vocals and identifiable lyrics, the new sound has adopted these qualities but moved into a more up-tempo format, grounded in folk and blues, but at times going far enough to resemble bluegrass. Upcoming plans for the act include the recording of a full length album as well as more frequent live performances. At long last, Messing has returned to the scene, energized by a new creative direction. The events of this return should not be missed.
