Joe LaPaglia sounds Just like himself, good music, good man
BY BILL SMITH
MUSIC CRITIC
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Joe LaPaglia was born and raised in Pittsburgh, but don’t hold that against him. Joe moved to Cleveland in the early 1990’s and has proudly called the Erie shores his home for nearly twenty years now. Joe released his debut album “Just Like Me” in 2011 and already is gaining some pretty serious accolades. Joe has won a songwriting contest on songwriteruniverse.com for his song “Why Me?”. Joe has also won a songwriting completion for The Gap stores which featured some in store performances, as well as a showcase on WKYC’s television show Good Company. His song “Sunny Days” is the theme song for bestfreakinggolftrip-laketrip.com, which is a website design to help golfers create vacations around their love of Golf in Florida. However when you talk to Joe, you just get the impression that he’s a normal guy and the exposure and success has definitely not gone to his head.Joe’s album is an impressive foray into the over looked talent of the artists and musicians that live around Cleveland. Recorded at Ante Up Studios located in Downtown Cleveland, it features some of the area’s most gifted musicians backing him up. The sound on the album could be compared to that of Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20, with a twist of Darius Rucker or Rascal Flatts thrown in for good measure.
