Originally hailing from Shawano, Wisconsin, Joe Tierney began playing music at a young age. He went on to study music and history at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire where he had the opportunity to learn from and perform with some of the most highly-respected jazz musicians and educators in the world.

He graduated college in 2012 and began his music career in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, performing with many world-class musicians and bands. In 2015 he escaped the clutches of an eternal winter and relocated to the Treasure Coast of Florida to join the premier Oktoberfest band in the country, The Alex Meixner Band. “Zigge Zagge Zigge Zagge, Hoi Hoi Hoi!!”

After a few years of traveling the country in lederhosen, Joe…having since been bestowed with the ubiquitous nickname “Sweet Butter”…decided to step back from touring and focus on performing locally in South Florida as well as teaching private lessons. Over time he carefully crafted the truly unique solo show that you see today.
