Joe Hurley (born 2 December) is a singer, songwriter, actor, playwright and voice-over artist. He leads the critically lauded bands Joe Hurley & The Gents[1] and Joe Hurley & Rogue's March.[2] He is the founder and curator of the Allstar Irish Rock Revue, a musical-literary homage to "The Great Irish Songbook",[3] celebrated annually around St. Patrick's Day.

Raised Irish Catholic in London, Hurley now lives in New York City.[4] His roots in three distinct heritages inspired his eclectic songwriting, which has been described as a blend of punk, rock and roll balladry, and traditional Irish folk[5] Musically, Hurley is oft-noted for his soulful ("whiskey-tinged") baritone and the storytelling quality of his lyrics.[6]

His ballad "Amsterdam Mistress" is featured on the Sony Records' compilation Whiskey in the Jar: Essential Irish Drinking Songs and Sing Alongs, along with classics from The Dubliners, Pogues, and Clancys.[7] In 2011, Hurley was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as one of seventy-five authors who participated in the UN's International Day of Peace.[8]

Recent work

The House That Horse Built (Let The Great World Spin)

2010 was marked by Hurley's collaborations with two best-selling books. Hurley and author Colum McCann cowrote a song-cycle – "The House That Horse Built (Let the Great World Spin) "—based on McCann's 2009 National Book Award-winning novel, Let the Great World Spin. The album is written from the perspective of Tillie, a 38-year-old black prostitute from the Bronx, who is reflecting on her tragic life.[9]

The album was recorded with Hurley's band The Gents and features such musical luminaries as The Chieftains' Paddy Moloney, Matt Sweeney, soul-legend Tami Lynn, film actress Antonique Smith, Denis Diken, Joe McGinty, and Faith Hahn. It was produced by Don Fleming and Hurley.[9]

Life by Keith Richards

Also in 2010, Hurley, Johnny Depp, and Keith Richards narrated the audiobook version of Keith Richards' memoir, Life. Life won two 2011 Audie Awards – Audiobook of the Year and Best Biography/Memoir[10]—on 24 May 2011. Additionally, the audiobook Life was voted Amazon's No. 1 Audiobook of the Year for 2010.[11]

Upcoming album

Hurley is recording a new CD with his band The Gents, featuring songs co-written by Steve Wynn and Colum McCann. The album's expected release date is late 2011.

Bands and musical projects

Joe Hurley and The Gents

Joe Hurley currently fronts the band Joe Hurley and The Gents. The Gents are James Mastro (Ian Hunter), Tony Shanahan (Patti Smith), and Ken Margolis (Cracker), Denny McDermott, Megan Gould, and Jon Spurney. Their first show was reviewed by legendary rock journalist John Swenson, who wrote:

"Lead singer and songwriter Joe Hurley, backed by a sublime group of New York City All-Stars, The Gents, ventured out last week for a pair of shows that offered up a selection of brand new material and some rarely performed Rogue's March songs....The highlight of their sparkling set was a great new song 'Irish Breakfast In a Greek Diner' that boasted a terrific sing-along chorus."[12]

The Gents are home at their favourite NYC venue, Joe's Pub, and have individually and collectively enjoyed critical acclaim for years.

They are presently recording a new CD of piano-led ballads, cabaret-influenced rock and roll screamers, and some acoustic tracks, including the songs, "Valentine Blue", "Desiree", and "Rockaway", as well as the glam-tinged "Julie Andrews Says Hello" and their best known song, "Irish Breakfast in a Greek Diner."

Joe Hurley and Rogue's March

Joe Hurley fronted the New York-based, Irish-tinged rock and roll band Rogue's March from 1995–2004. They released two critically acclaimed CDs, Never Fear and Chaser.[13][14] Their debut album, Never Fear (2000), includes the hits, "Shut Up and Drink", and the Christmas heartbreaker, "Amsterdam Mistress." The New York Post called the song "Shut Up and Drink" "a New York Irish Anthem":

"The Rogue's March pub hit was the theme song of defunct dive bar The Village Idiot, and is on the playlist of every respectable watering hole in town. (The tune has also been covered in Germany, Denmark, Canada, and Ireland)".[15]

The ballad "Amsterdam Mistress" is included on the seminal Irish folk-rock collection, Whiskey in The Jar: Essential Irish Drinking Songs and Sing Alongs, released by Sony.

Their sophomore effort, Chaser (2003), was produced by the legendary James Mastro. Hurley's tune, "Madcap Tears" from the Chaser CD has been featured in Captain Morgan's rum TV ads.

The original Rogue's March line-up was Gary Johannes, Bill Gerstel, Jim Harry, Dan Prater, Ken Margolis and Hurley. J-F Vergel and Chris Nappi joined in 1996. Other members were Ivan Julian, Adam Roth, Jason Goodrow, and Andrew Goodsight.

Allstar Irish Rock Revue

The Allstar Irish Rock Revue is an annual musical-literary collaboration founded and curated by Hurley. The Revue takes place in New York City in celebration of St. Patrick's Day and is a famed New York City event. The Revue has been called, "The most celebrated musical event of the St. Patricks's season in New York"[16] and '"[It] draws rave reviews every year as the biggest St. Patrick's party in town".[17] National Geographic Traveler rated the Revue "the No. 2 Star Attraction" in the article "The Best 10 Places to Spend St. Patrick's Season in America".[18]

Hurley, Irish-blooded himself, began the review as a way to honour "The Great Irish Songbook" by playing Celtic classics alongside the tunes of Thin Lizzy, Morrissey, The Pogues, The Dubliners, U2, John Lydon, and Van Morrison, to name a few. Every year, the Revue features different artists from all walks of life. In 2011, the Revue celebrated its 12th anniversary with a sold-out show at the Highline Ballroom. The performance featured the Alice Cooper Group, Gene Cornish, Oscar winner Sam Bisbee, Tony-winning actor Michael Cerveris, SNL's Christine Ohlman, Joe Piscopo, Noel Kilkenny (the Irish ambassador to the USA), and NYC guitar greats Adam Roth (Denis Leary) and Ricky Byrd, who played Gary Moore's very own Les Paul, in a moving tribute weeks after the Thin Lizzy guitarist's passing.

Past musical guests have included Ronnie Spector, Fountains of Wayne, Martha Wainwright, Gogol Bordello, Garland Jeffreys, Nada Surf's Matthew Caws, Irish sensations The High Kings, The Crystals' LaLa Brooks, Carrie Rodriguez, Ellen Foley, Lenny Kaye, Faith Hahn, Tony Shanahan and Jay Dee Daugherty of Patti Smith Group, Oscar winner Mike Viola, film stars Annie Golden, Jesse Malin, Susan McKeown, Willie Nile, Kristeen Young, Ireland's chart-topping Republic of Loose, Gerard McNamee the actor and director of Webster Hall, members of Irish supergroup Clanaad, the New York Dolls, The Dictators, The Mekons, Cracker, and Ian Hunter Band.

Gibson Guitars has sponsored the Revue since 2006. Gibson had a customised Irish-flag Epiphone made exclusively for Joe Hurley and the Irish Revue. It is the only one of its kind in the world. The guitar is played on the show-closing finale, "God Save The Queen" written by John Lydon (Sex Pistols). In 2007, Hurley decided to turn the Revue into a fundraising event for various charities. To date, proceeds from the Revue have gone to Save St Brigid's, The Animal Rescue League, Gilda's Club of NY, The Bowery Mission, the Widows of NYPD, and Haitian Relief.

When asked to describe The Allstar Irish Rock Revue, Hurley is quoted as saying, "The Songbook is of Ireland, but for everyone…New Yorkers from all backgrounds singing them. That's what the show is all about. There's no other songbook that translates so well across the world".[19]

Collaborations

Hurley is known for his striking collaborations with a wide range of musicians and authors. He has sung and/or recorded with Ian Hunter, playwright Sam Shepard, PJ Harvey, Marianne Faithfull, Judy Collins and Jimmy Webb, Shane Macgowan, John Oates, Prefab Sprout, Laura Cantrell, Tami Lynn, The Waco Brothers, Faith Hahn, Kristeen Young, Antonique Smith, Annie Golden, Amy Rigby, Michael Cerveris, Lala Brooks (The Crystals), Steve Wynn, The Nick Drake Orchestra, Indaculture and the Queens All-Stars, cabaret stars Andrea Marcovicci and Maude Maggart, Martha Wainwright, Sally Timms (The Mekons), Nellie McKay, and Christine Ohlman, among others.
