Joe Dorris played in Erie in the early 1970s in bands like Zeus and Antia. He would later play in the Dorris Brothers band for many years, spend some time playing in Boston (including a very funny gig at a bar ON a bar), and eventually would go onto play with Frank Singer in various jazz bands to this day. He's a drummer, a singer, a harmonica player, and an interview you don't want to miss!

Thanks to the JPT Foundation for sponsoring the Erie Music History podcast. The goal of the foundation is to provide education scholarships to grade school-age children as well as annual giving to local organizations and charities. The foundation has a large hall that hosts bingo four days a week and is available for rentals, and it is also the home of this podcast’s monthly music night, which is the first Tuesday of the month from 6-9.  

 Many thanks to the folks (like Angelo Phillips!) who have donated to the podcast. If you would like to help out, Venmo me at @Dan-Schell-6.
