No Show Joe
Band Bio's

No Show Joe has been playing in the Western Suburbs of Chicago for well over 8 years. Previously known as Double Fisted, we have performed at festivals, private events/parties, bars and corporate events. Recently, our band played at one of the most prestigious venues in Chicago "The House of Blues". We love what we do – and it shows! We keep the FUN in live music, without ever sacrificing the quality of our music

This is:

  Jamie Berndt – Lead and back up vocals. Jamie is the heart of our superior vocal blend. A combination of Ann Wilson, Janus Joplin, Kelly Clarkson - she can do it all! With an interactive, fun & professional presence, she is the perfect front person for our group. 

 Todd Nash - Lead Guitar and Vocals. Todd is solely responsible for the formation of this band. It was well over 7 years ago when he introduced the future drummer and bass player of No Show Joe, and the rest is history. Todd can lay down any lead guitar track with the best of them, having the duty of covering some of rock's greats. Todd showcases his talent on a daily basis, all while adding strong, rich vocals. He is the cornerstone of this group's success. 


 Dave Sianta – Bass, Acoustic Guitar & Vocals. Dave is the music NUT, born from the womb of Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and the Beatles. He is a “jack of all trades,” playing powerful bass, as well as kick a** lead guitar and vocals – whatever is needed. His flexibility and talent are crucial to the sound of No Show Joe. Also the owner of our band’s studio (ha!) he is a huge influence on the sound created by NSJ! 
 

 Chuck Patton – Percussion. Chuck is the rhythm of No Show Joe. Playing for over 22 years, he relishes the opportunity to continue living his musical dreams while still performing as a business professional during the day. Growing up in a family who LOVED Rock ‘n Roll, he always looks for the spotlight - as any good drummer should ! 


 Leah Rippe - Keyboards & Vocals. Leah is the newest member of No Show Joe, and it seems as though she has been with us from the start. Having mastered all styles of piano music, Leah now brings her expertise and ingenuity to covering some of the greatest rock music ever created. A vocalist as well, she adds complex and nuanced harmonies to our band! Leah’s musical talent brings us to an even higher level of musical performance.
