Joe Pegasus studied classical piano
and dance until, at 12 years old, his dad introduced him into
the family business of stone design and carving. On the job
education as well as attending 2 notable design schools
propelled Joe into the world of sculpture and stone design.
Longing for his roots he teamed up with a life-long friend,
Artier Turco, to sing and panhandle / busk on the streets of
Greenwich Village, New York. Together they gained modest local
success but meeting bills lead Joe back to the drawing
board. Joe returned to music in 2010 with a little known
CD album Ambient Trance. The album Songs from A
Forest Garden is a collaboration
among artists focused on the songs from the book of the same
name. Retired with his wife Cathy, Joe now centers
attention on his writings put to music and video as well as
tending to his veggie and woodland gardens. |
