Joe Salvucci and Dan Germain

Dan and Joe met at their children's music class and soon came to realize they had both studied jazz at their respective colleges. Dan a graduate of Berkeley College of Music and Joe of Umass Dartmouth, the two had found common musical ground and were eager to have the chance to play. After just one jam session the world shut down due to the pandemic and it wasn’t for nearly 2 years that the pair had the chance to play again. Germain’s melodic approach to the drum set compliments the simplistic approach of Salvucci on keys. The set being performed are all original compositions by Joe Salvucci and are debuted here at Porchfest Quincy!
