‘Blood Is Thicker Than Water’ is a heavy, brooding song about a love lost that never really was. With layered, lamenting vocals, crashing drums and dark, haunting keyboards, ‘Blood Is Thicker Than Water’ will put the ground under your feet in motion.
Joey Green was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1959. He formed his first band with high school buddies when he was 16 years-old. The band was called OZ and performed original music as well as music from Led Zeppelin, Kansas, Neil Young, Blue Oyster Cult, The Allman Brothers and Bruce Springsteen. In 1984, Joey re-located to New York City where he met bassist/producer Brian Stanley who helped him form an indie rock band called the Jury. The Jury had moderate success in the college circuit with their EP release entitled ‘Shyboy’ in 1988 (Kangaroo Records). As he puts it; “Songwriting is a craft. For me, it’s best to start with an idea that has been sparked by some emotional feeling, experience or event. I enjoy writing about the ups and downs of life. The joy and tragedy of it. I want to reflect on this experience for as long as possible.”
After living and performing in Austria since 2000, Joey Green has relocated back to New York City in the summer of 2019. Look for some exciting new releases throughout the rest of this year and on into 2020, including a series of live performances.
