Dr Joel PiersonDr. Joel Pierson has made a career out of music and mockery, or perhaps a mockery of his career in music. Over the last two decades he has worked with artists of great repute, like the New York Philharmonic and the Kronos Quartet, and artists of evengreater ill repute, like Linkin Park and Ke$ha. Wayne Newton told Joel he loved him, Paul McCartney gave him a back rub, and Father John Misty played in his high school rock band. He has performed on all seven continents (yes, even Antarctica) and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, McSweeney's, and NPR. Joel currently teaches and performs in the New York City area, most notably with his group The Queen's Cartoonists, a jazz band that plays music from cartoions. He holds a doctorate in music composition with a master's degree in jazz piano. Read More Read Less
