Jo Serrapere

Jo Serrapere & the Hot Tail Section Jo Serrapere, a singer/songwriter from the Detroit area, started playing guitar at 23 when seeking out lessons from Delta Blues guitarist, Shari Kane (of Madcat and Kane). Shortly thereafter, Serrapere began writing her own songs while completing her college studies in clinical psychology. For the last few years, she has been playing at music venues throughout Michigan and touring sections of the mid-west, southern and eastern United States. Her highly eclectic writing and performances fuse elements of various modern and traditional folk music, old-time and electric blues styles, swing, country and jazz and even some alternative rock. Her band, the Hot Tail Section, brings added depth and musical styling to her original songs as well as classics by such artists as Mississippi John Hurt, Bessie Smith, the Nat King Cole Trio, Louie Prima and Tom Waits.
