Keira McArthur
Cellist, vocalist, music coach, fine artist
There are musicians who have an embedded, deeply intuitive sense of the 'rightness' of what they play- Joel is one. He has ears everywhere & plays sympathetically with everyone around him, which makes finding and staying in the shared groove feel effortless. A very solid player who's also full of curiosity and humour - I've had fabulous times playing with Joel these past ten years or more, and excellent times just listening and watching. Always a pleasure.
