No Show Joe
Band Bio's

No Show Joe has been playing in Chicago's Western Suburbs for well over 10 years.
Previously known as
Double Fisted, we have performed at festivals, private events/parties, bars and corporate events - from little Johnny's graduation bash and neighborhood block parties, to Naperville's "Ribfest" and Chicago's "House of Blues."  
We love what we do – and it shows! We keep the FUN in live music, and we do it well. 


This is:







Jamie Berndt

 
 Lead and back up vocals
Jamie is the heart of our superior vocal blend. A combination of Ann Wilson, Janis 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: over 10 years ago he introduced the drummer and bass player. Todd can lay down any lead guitar track like a pro, and covers some of rock's greats. While kickin' it on lead guitar, he adds strong, rich lead and back-up vocals - whatever a song requires, Todd delivers. 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, 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.
