Joe Abbey is a white, self-proclaimed agnostic who also happens to be the lead guitarist in an otherwise all African American regional gospel group, The Heavenly Echoes.

Far from being the infidel in a field of holy men, Abbey fits right in with his band of proselytizers who struggle like all of us to keep their act together in a world gone mad. Joe also is a middle-aged RPI graduate who loves the Rolling Stones and fronts a blues band called JV and The Cutters.

It is Joe’s blues band that will share the stage with Thomasina Winslow and Mother Judge on Friday as part of Troy’s Sanctuary for Independent Media’s Live From Lock One concert series.

Live From Lock One is a series featuring some of the most creative artists on the local live music scene. Each performance is recorded with a studio audience and streamed live over the internet. This season we'll be focusing on some of the region's great blues talents, hosted by JV & The Cutters. Featured singers include Thomasina Winslow (left) and Mother Judge (right).
