Folk Pop from Joe Sneva

Based in Conway, Washington, fifty miles north of Seattle, singer-songwriter Joe Sneva makes his own brand of folk pop music. Pairing hazy alternative grit with vibrant surf rock tones, his music captures his free spirit and yearning for simpler times.

During his rural upbringing, growing up on the family farm with five older siblings, he found his passion for music when listening to Bob Dylan cassettes that his parents would play en route to church. Desperate to pursue his own sonic path, he begged his parents for a guitar of his own for two years until they finally caved and he embarked on his musical journey without looking back.

In 2004 he made his debut with his first record Sweet Talkin’, hailed as one of the North West’s best albums of the year by legendary local outlet Three Imaginary Girls. Spending the next few years living in Los Angeles where he cut his teeth on the live music circuit playing iconic venues such as The Roxy, House of Blues and Whisky a Go Go, he then moved back to Seattle in 2010 where his fronted The Sweet Dominiques while continuing his solo endeavour.

After two further albums, an EP and a string of stellar singles, he now brings us his latest work with his new cover of “Dreams” by The Cranberries.

Laying down his trademark delicate folk style, he breathes new life into the classic song with bright guitar and synth instrumentation and softly delivered vocal leads. Both ethereal and down to earth, with his new cover Joe Sneva offers a beautiful re-imagining of “Dream” that maintains his own distinct sound while doing justice to the timeless original.
