Details:
BUILD A FIRE represents a full circle in the musical life of Joe Eglash - after years working on either side of the music industry. Matured, hook-filled songwriting matched with a one-man-band mentality to produce a landmark, dynamic recording.

BUILD A FIRE was recorded in 2008-9, boasting live instruments all played by Joe. Recorded in vintage fashion with live takes and Queen-like overdubs, new ground is tread upon with a horizon of hooks, grooves, and harmonies. BUILD A FIRE lies somewhere between the Beatles, the Who, and the Stones, with a well-crafted sheen close to Jellyfish and XTC.

In addition to Eglash Creative Group, a music consultancy, Joe Eglash owns and operates oySongs.com, the leading online source for Jewish music (audio and sheet music downloads). Formerly Managing Director of Transcontinental Music Publications, music publishing division of the Union for Reform Judaism, he has hundreds of publications to his credit. He is a recognized authority in the fields of Jewish music and guitar pedagogy, and is a consultant of musical repertoire, marketing, and building congregational instrumental ensembles.

Raised in a family of folk music enthusiasts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Joe studied the guitar and saxophone. Before earning his B.A. in Judaic Studies from Brooklyn College, he studied classical guitar with Jeffrey Van at the University of Minnesota, where he formed a band, The Flood. For years, The Flood toured large college and community venues to capacity crowds, earning a substantial following. They released three popular albums of original music.

Joe is active as a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and composer in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he resides with his wife and daughter. He is a member of ASCAP and the GTM.
