He has brought his brand of traditional American polka into the 21st century with a fresh spark & swing while retaining the roots of this music. From a young age, Steve has been on task to promote quality music that can be accepted by all ages. His main goal has been to persuade the general public’s stereotypical view of polka music to bring a new awareness to the masses. “I believe that good music is simply good and I believe people know the difference. They may not always understand what the mechanics of it are, but they feel it. And that is where I’ve always placed my faith in people. They too feel that good music is simply good and it makes them feel good.”
He, and his father’s, original compositions are included on many best selling polka recordings, Grammy nominated recordings, and can be found in the archives of the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian Institute, and Wisconsin state libraries in both textbook and music categories.

The Midwest’s Premiere Tribute to Heart
Heartless is a tribute to the music of Heart – and one of the most impressive bands in the Midwest. No other Midwest band can deliver the Wilson sisters’ classic sound – the driving beat, the burning guitar riffs, and the soaring, signature vocals.
JOE 2.0 – Joe 2.0 Homepage (joe20.com)
JOE 2.0 was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2011, by violinist, Joseph Ketchum.
JOE 2.0 was formed to see if a string quartet could play
rock and pop music in a powerful and non-lame way.
JOE 2.0 is comprised of an electrified string quartet (2 Violins, Viola, and Cello),
plus drums and the inimitable vocals of original “Cheap Trick” lead singer, Xeno.
JOE 2.0 uses painstakingly crafted analogue effects on the strings to emulate the sounds of
electric guitar, keyboards, bass, horns, and other things.
JOE 2.0 blends these sounds with the natural sound of the strings,
creating a rock/pop sound with a symphonic power to it.
It’s like a rock band and orchestra had a baby, and they called it “JOE 2.0”.
A “Rockestra” if you will, good citizen.
JOE 2.0 sometimes let’s Xeno play guitar so his hands don’t get too fidgety,
but for the most part, JOE 2.0 does not condone or allow the use of fretted instruments.
JOE 2.0 makes a few exceptions only for Xeno.
JOE 2.0 performs a wide variety of cover songs from many genres and eras.
Some of the songs are very pretty and intricate and elegant.
Some of the songs are savage and raucous and loud.
All of the songs are special in their own way, just like you, citizen.
Artists covered include but are not limited to:
The Beatles, The White Stripes, Gary Puckett, Antonio Vivaldi, Elvis,
The Who, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Green Day, James Brown, etc.
JOE 2.0 has 6 members. Joseph Ketchum and Xeno are two of them.
You can get to know the other members by sending JOE 2.0 a message or coming to a show.
You can try to use a medium or psychic to learn more names and info,
but unless they are a JOE 2.0 fan or friend, they won’t be able to help you.
Better to get your truth from the source.
Messaging JOE 2.0 or attending a JOE 2.0 is also a good way
to find out why JOE 2.0 is named “JOE 2.0”.
JOE 2.0 is not afraid of the robots.
JOE 2.0 will protect citizens who request protection from the robots.
When that time comes.
JOE 2.0 thanks you for your patronage.
