Mighty Joe Belson
Mighty Joe Belson is a bassist and composer whose musical journey spans rock, metal, jazz, and chamber music. With a deep commitment to storytelling, his instrumental works capture the full range of human emotion—whether serious or whimsical, profound or playful—all without vocals, and beyond words.
With The Doodle Cats, Joe channels the spirit of classic 1950s and ’60s jazz, crafting songs that are lighthearted, melodic, and steeped in swing. His latest release, The Doodle Cats: Reinventing the Wheel (out Oct. 24 on Necessary Vice), showcases a standout ensemble of Bay Area musicians and marks Joe’s most accomplished statement yet.
