Joe Newberry

 

Missouri native and North Carolina transplant Joe Newberry has made music most of his life. He grew up in a family full of singers and dancers, took up the guitar and banjo as a teenager, and learned fiddle tunes from great Missouri fiddlers. He plays with Bruce Molsky and Rafe Stefanini as the Jumpsteady Boys, in a duo with mandolinist Mike Compton, and in a quartet with old-time music legends Bill Hicks, Mike Craver, and Jim Watson.

Everyone on his Dad’s side of the family sang — on his mom’s side they sang and danced.

“My mother’s brother, Tom, was a great tap dancer and well into his seventies he could take a big napkin and tap dance on it and not mess it up.”

Joe is a dancer, too. When he was a young boy his mother taught him to dance the box step and waltz. “At some point you’ll be at a dance and none of the other boys will know how to dance but you will, she told him.”

He later learned to clog and now claims to be a “recovering clogger” in a 12-step program.

Last Time on the Road



Surrounded by music, Joe was drawn to it for the same reason a lot of young men are. “I liked this girl who was taking guitar lessons, so I thought I could get some favor with her if I took lessons, too.”

He remembers getting his first guitar. “It was all I wanted for Christmas and my mother told me they couldn’t afford it. On our way to visit family, mom feigned ill and asked if she could lie down on the back seat. When they pulled back the blankets there was the guitar for me.”



Joe has written a lot of classic songs including “Singing As We Rise,” which drew the attention of the pastor at Joe’s former hometown church.

“I got an email from him and he didn’t know that I went to that church and asked permission to sing my song in church. I told him, “If you look in the third pew on the left from the pulpit, that’s where everybody in this song sat.”

Music makes the world small according to Joe. “My songs are being sung by friends and strangers, and in churches and at funerals and that’s the highest honor there is.

    My story changed when I met DR easbnam through Elizabeth Traffords post on how she won the lottery with the help of DR easbnam. Spell is still very effective, I was convinced after using the numbers provided by DR easbsnam when I told him I wanted to win the lottery because of the post I saw online about his winning numbers, he said he has helped a lot of people and I won’t be an exception to that, he put in work for me after I provided the necessary Informations he requested from me, after then he gave me the numbers to play after 24hours and directed me on how to play and when I should play them which I did, I won £5.2 million pounds, I’m excited that my dream has come through, DR easbnam is the best when it comes to winning the lottery with spell and prayers Email: easbnamspellhome@gmail.com or whatsapp him on +2349134682114 or also contact him via his Facebook page: https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552423487938&sk=about
