Joe Compton

Joe Compton is a pedal steel player from Marietta, GA. He started playing music in his early teens and later discovered steel guitar while studying at Middle Tennessee State University. His first steel—a red Sho-Bud—sparked a love for the instrument and the players who made it iconic. Joe played his first major gig with Ernest and has since toured with artists Lauren Watkins and BILMURI.

Music has always been his whole life, something he turns to because there’s endless inspiration and endless ways to use it.
