JOE DELIA:
Joe Delia has two gold records and one platinum. He is known internationally for his blazing blues piano onstage and his 30-plus feature film scores. Locally, he is known for his songs played on the radio all over the East End, like “Under the Montauk Moon.” After being one of the first Muppets, Delia was signed to RCA Records in his early teens. From there he leapt straight into success in the studios of New York City, writing, producing, and playing with such varied artists as Dusty Springfield, Pat Benatar, Stanley Turrentine, Freddie Hubbard, Dave Edmonds, and Phoebe Snow. Outside the studios, he has played live with Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, Jon Bon Jovi, and many more. Delia’s extensive film composing career began by scoring most of Abel Ferrara’s body of work, working with Madonna, Harvey Keitel, Laurence Fishbourne, Christopher Walken, and Dennis Hopper, among others. His scoring is often demanded by Nova, National Geographic, the Discovery Channel and other documentary producers for their prized creations. Joe is recently back from a short sold-out tour of France with Abel Ferrara celebrating his film music along with Paul Hipp. A film of that tour will be premiering as part of this year’s Cannes Film Festival and playing across Europe.
