Joel Jeschke

Joel Jeschke is a sought-after drummer and band member across multiple genres, from rock to jazz. Having performed and recorded with countless artists including rock bands such as Royal Tusk (MNRK Records) and Whale and the Wolf, to modern jazz  artists; Aretha Tillotson, Stephanie Urquhart Quartet and Brett Hansen. Joel now turns his attention to his debut album as a composer and bandleader on “Time & Place”.

Joel's debut album, "Time & Place" is a study in balance, asymmetric time signatures gently tempered by an unpronounced visceral pulse and manic dissonance consoled by yearning melodies. This record tenderly navigates a harsh landscape by vacillating between polar states. As the frustrated on-the-verge-of-an-epiphany chaos of "The Number Twelve" challenges you with madness, it soon departs and you are comforted, with solemn introspection in "Song For When It Rains". Beyond everything else, these works speak deliberately, with a desire to be heard, and understood. Even while wandering, Joel’s musical voice ventures towards the unknown, in hopes of making a point-not-yet discovered.
