After holding faith and perseverance, the highly-anticipated debut release of ramble and thoreauvian marks the stunning entrance of this Somerville, MA based songwriter. An album that delivers a song cycle in a sparseness and honesty, it was recorded in a small attic in Arlington, MA by engineer Glenn French.

"From the Midwest to NYC...to Wyoming, and currently digging into the Boston folk roots scene, Joel's songs have a lush sound that is steeped in Americana. With an unconventional guitar style all his own, his inspiration ranges from Joni Mitchell to Kelly Joe Phelps."
