JOE FESSLER BAND

Joe Fessler is an aspiring, indie artist based out of the Twin Cities. He was born in Kansas City, MO, but spent most of his life growing up in Minnesota. Joe showed an early interest in music. As a baby, he used to sit at the piano on his sister lap while she practiced and tried to follow her hands as they moved across the keys.

He picked up the guitar at age 16 and taught himself how to play and sing some of his favorite covers of songs he loved. His natural ear for music soon led to music composition. Growing up wasn’t always easy – broken home, divorced parents, and all the struggles that go along with being an adolescent – and music became Joe’s outlet to the stress and uncertainty of everyday life. Any moment he could find, he played guitar and piano and sang.

Through this daily ritual, he discovered songwriting, as a way of processing his life experiences and expressing them in a poetic way. Each song Joe writes is a unique story – one that is interwoven with his thoughts, beliefs, and reflections on life, relationships, and everything in between.The most important people in Joe’s life are family, friends, and God, and knowing how fragile life can be sometimes, he has learned not to take those he loves for granted. He has just completed his debut album, Worth It, a compilation of fresh, new songs about love, hope, truth, and finding happiness and purpose in even the most difficult moments.
