Joe Grushecky

Joe Grushecky, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, began his rock career in the late 1970s. In 1976 he formed the Brick Alley Band Afterwards, which saw the release of its first album, Love's So Tough, in 1979. By 1984, the band's success began falling, and its members decided it was time to separate. Joe subsequently started his solo career, and released his solo debut album Rock & Real in 1989.
