Jo Hell Jo Hell started playing in Montreal bars at the age of 16. After two years of playing jam nights seven nights a week, he decided to start his own band. As the years went by, the number of shows increased and demand for the group became more obvious. They appeared at several festivals including the Montreal Jazz Festival and the band's popularity increased.
In 2006, Jo Hell & The Red Roosters played SXSW and were a featured band that same year at the Red, White, and Blues Festival at Waterloo Park. http://www.myfoxaustin.com/dpp/good_day/live_music/Live-Music:-Jo-Hell-20100714-ktbcgd
Inspired by the tour, Jo decided to relocate to Austin, TX.
The band returned to Quebec in 2008 to record their latest album "Jo Hell." Upon completion, they returned to central Texas, maintaining a steady work habit and playing 4 to 5 nights a week. Also touring in Europe twice, headlining at the PJeire Blues Festival in Vilvoorde, Belgium.
In 2010 Jo Hell brought his band back to the Montreal Jazz Festival for the first time since 2005.http://www.montrealjazzfest.com/program/concert.aspx?id=9781 Currently the band is readying a new live album entitled "Live in Belgium".
