Armed with a Takamine guitar, respectable vocal range and lyrical wit, Joe Olivier has compiled a gem of a debut release. Television Voo Doo is a unique, ear-opening smorgasbord influenced by the styles of folk, rock, rap and alternative that is sure to please a wide range of listeners. Joe’s self-proclaimed "conceptual rambles" are catchy acoustic rock digressions, spiced with both Gen-Ex pop-culture and pinches of novelty.

Joe credits "60’s/70’s classic rock, early MTV, and the Seattle Invasion" as influences of his musical style. He explains that his experience as a college radio deejay truly broadened his horizons. "I was pretty closed minded when I started deejaying in college. The platform was to play what no one else was playing. It took me a while to grasp that concept. I have the utmost respect for that diversity now. I love a catchy tune like anyone else, but my experiences there influenced my creativity. It was then I became interested in songwriting and playing guitar".
