PODCAST: Joe Walsh '07

By Adam Olenn  Published: September 06, 2011

As Berklee's first-ever mandolin principal, Joe Walsh '07 toured nationally on behalf of the college, including a performance at the Kennedy Center to honor Earl Scruggs. When he's not supporting artists like Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch, Walsh spends his time teaching music to the students of the 317 Main Street Music Center in Yarmouth, Maine.  

Walsh also cofounded the well-known string band Joy Kills Sorrow and currently performs nationally with the Gibsons; the Jonathan Edwards band; and in a quartet with Steve Roy, Grant Gordy, and Darol Anger, who coproduced Walsh's 2010 release Sweet Loam.
