The Beer Garden Sessions ft. Brother Joe

Get ready for an electrifying night of music with Brother Joe at the Honor Credit Union stage in Presidential Brewing Company’s outdoor beer garden! Joey Banua, also known as Brother Joe, is Nashville’s newest country-rock recording artist and up-and-coming record producer. Although country wasn’t always his scene, Brother Joe discovered his country roots while serving at a church amidst the cornfields of Indiana. There, he found a passion for storytelling in his songwriting, embracing alternative perspectives.

And here’s something special: Last year, Brother Joe released a music video that was a mashup between Garth Brooks’ “The Dance” and Lady Gaga’s “Always Remember Us This Way.” Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSaXLUUV58I. Garth Brooks watched the video and his jaw dropped. He then heaped compliments on Brother Joe’s singing voice, solidifying his status as a rising star in the country music scene.

With a setlist featuring Nashville heavy-hitting bops and bangers, Brother Joe brings energy and grit to the stage. But don’t let your guard down because the show can turn on a dime, and you’ll find yourself transported to church! Brother Joe’s voice is unforgettable, blending a rich rock edge with pure top notes. His talent even landed him a spot in Hollywood on American Idol Season 11, where he received three vibrant “Yes’s” from Randy, J Lo, & Steven Tyler.

Brother Joe’s flagship song “Sirens” has become an anthem among first responder communities. Many of our world’s law enforcement, firefighters, medical personnel, and military personnel often begin or end their shifts with this song. It offers an alternative perspective from the point of view of a first responder’s family. Without any marketing or advertising, the song took flight on YouTube with 2,000,000 views to date. Brother Joe plans to release a “Sirens” re-imagined on the 5-year anniversary of the song featuring The Voice Season 6 Alumni Kristen Merlin!
