Bio:
Award winning musician, Joe Flip, performing with his hand-made oil can guitars, is releasing his new album, “Home Sweet Home,” along with singing a new record deal with Loud Folk Records.
 
His 2019 album, “Tin Can Tunes,” charted #2, along with his song “Mess Around,” charting #1 on the international RMR Radio Charts earning him a Blues Blast Magazine Music Award nomination. Joe Flip also represented Minnesota at the 2019 International Blues Competition in Memphis, TN, advancing to the semi-finals. Since then, he has also earned three nominations by the Midwest Country Music Organization.

His hand-made oil can guitars, "Hayburners," have been sold all over the world and have been featured on FOX 9 News, Blues in Britain Magazine, CNET, and The Drive Magazine.

Not only content with performing, Joe also serves as a music teacher and promoter of "Blues for Kids," a music education program he created at the 501c3 non-profit organization, "Discover Music". The program is known for organizing workshops at schools and festivals with the mission of teaching children of all ages about the Blues music genre with harmonica and guitar.
