Joe Tomino is an artist living in Cleveland, Ohio and a proud endorser of Pearl Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Evans Drum Heads,Vic Firth Sticks, Morfbeats, Earthquaker Devices, and Reflexx.
Joe grew up in Cleveland playing all the music he could...from jazz, punk rock, hip-hop, reggae, classical and electronic. After graduating high school, Joe attended Cleveland State University, studying classical percussion and performing with the Cleveland Youth Orchestra under the tutelage of the Cleveland Orchestra. It was around this time that Joe started playing and touring with the internationally acclaimed avant-acoustic-electric trio, birth. Upon first leaving home, Joe moved up east to study jazz performance and composition at the New England Conservatory.
In 2000, Joe relocated to NYC to be with the love of his life, his now-awesome-wife, and to make music. Joe had some amazing opportunities to play, tour and record with such artists such as The Fugees, Lady Gaga, Mike Patton, Wyclef Jean, Matisyahu, Blondie, Rahzel, Del Amitri, Lauren Hill, Joe Maneri, Simply Red, The Green, Ying Yang Twins, Z-Trip, Wayne Krantz, Easy Star All-stars, Meshell Ndegeocollo, Battle of Mice and other amazing artists.
After a few years in NYC, Joe co-founded Dub Trio. Dub Trio has released several albums, toured internationally and was the backing band for Matisyahu and Mike Patton's Peeping Tom. While with Matisyahu, Joe performed at the 2010 Winter Olympics, made many national and international TV appearances, and toured and recorded behind the four albums: ‘Live at Stubbs Vol. II’ ‘Light’ ‘Akeda’ & 'Sparker Seekers'. In 2016, Joe co-founded Yellowstone Apocalypse, an instrumental doom duo. Joe started playing percussion in the GRiZ Live Band in 2017, whose first show was at a sold-out Red Rocks. 2018 brought about the formation of Togishi, a Cleveland based improv trio creating music that is both visceral and cerebral. And in early 2019, Joe joined Clevleand’s psych-Cumbia group, HELLO 3D.
