Hey everyone.

I've decided to make a personal decision to skip this week's live stream show in light of all that is going on right now. I understand that music is healing and needed in these times. I don't mean to abandon that purpose. However, if I'm going to play, I would want to give you my best. And the truth is, I just don't think I have it in me at the moment.

I hope that is understandable. 

Instead, I'm choosing to focus my energy on listening, learning and supporting the black community in this important time in American history. I encourage all of you to do the same. That's what feels right at the moment for me and where I'm at mentally and emotionally. 

Don't worry, I will return next week fired up for another live stream show. I'll be sure to make it something special for all of you that have been tuning in every wednesday. 

Thanks for all of your love and support. 
I'll see you next wednesday. 
Take care and be safe out there. 
Listen to each other and love each other. 
-Joel

HOME is now available on all streaming platforms!! 

Check it out wherever you like to listen to music! 

HOW YOU CAN HELP: 

So, the more listens I have (especially this week), it helps the song get noticed and added to different promotion channels so it has a chance to circulate. 

Please share with anyone you know that you think might dig it!

SPECIAL SHOUT OUTS: 

Special thanks to Tamir Barzilay for always being the best drummer to play my music. 

To Clay Blair for laying down some bass guitar and mastering the track. 

Special thanks to Wes Poland for putting in a lot of hours helping me get this song where it needed to be. I am very happy with how it turned out. Happy to finally be recording and mixing my own music! 

Extended thanks to Cathy Heller Reinstein for inspiring me to write this song a little while back. 

And last but not least, thanks to Logan Metz for helping my with the final draft of the artwork. It turned out great. 

Oh...and one more thing. 

That's my Grandpa and Nana Eckels on the front porch of the house that my dad grew up in. It's located in Mineral Point Wisconsin and is now currently inhabited by my cousin Chausti Weinbrenner from my mom's side of the family. Lots of memories across different generations of the Eckels clan. It was a perfect photo to use. 

Enjoy your Tuesday. 

Thanks for your support!

I'm happy to finally announce that "HOME" will be released on all streaming platforms next Tuesday, May 26th.

TONIGHT, I'll be back with another Quarantine Live Stream at 7pm pst!
