Born in Illinois, Joe Bayer's musical journey began at an early age. Eventually, he played throughout the Midwest and made the move to Los Angeles, California where he and his hard rock act Devastation Run landed a record deal with Ironworks records. Joe has also chalked up a couple of Indie Radio awards and performed at award shows in Nashville and Nevada. He has also had the pleasure of opening for Tim Rushlow from the Country group Little Texas. Now based in New York, the Joe Bayer Band continues performing live and are finishing their new CD "Locked , Rocked and Loaded" due out this year. With 2 videos released and the single "Hello Sunshine, Goodbye Rain" featuring the legendary Gary U.S. Bonds receiving international attention from fans and music industry executives, 2010 is shaping up to be a great one for this talented singer/songwriter.
