Mild-mannered, big-hearted Joel Pace finds expression for his wide-ranging passions and intellect both in the English Dept at UW-EC and in writing and performing as part of Irie Sol, with its authentic Jamaican chat/DJing and soaring, soulful melodies backed by blazing bebop horns, wailing guitar, and tight drum and bass, and with Eggplant Heroes, who blend multi-part harmonies with guitar, trumpet, violin, mandolin, and bass, to present an eclectic mix of originals, literary adaptations, mountain gospel, and folk.
Past/current religious/spiritual influences:
