In today’s world of manufactured music, Tokyo Joe stands out from the crowd. Though most of the music is of the rock genre, lead vocalist and founder Greg Bickley credits musicians like Billy Joel and Elton John as early influences. Indeed, that inspiration is evident in Bickley’s sultry vocals each time he picks up the mic. Also the band’s songwriter, guitarist, and pianist, Bickley was voted “Best Male Vocalist,” adding to an ever-growing list of band awards that include “Best Rock/Pop Band”, “Best CD Release” and “Best Band” in Savannah, GA, Columbia, SC, Hilton Head, SC and Beaufort, SC.
