music

 The musicians in Under the Canopy have a goal to improve the world around them through the use of Music and Art. The group got started when Gwen and Joe bonded over their shared passions for writing lyrical melodies to the stum of a guitar. Each member brings a unique musical aesthetic to the band and over the years they've grown comfortable jumping genres and mashing up influences.  

Joe has been a passionate guitar player since the age of seven.  He decided to study music and it's industry at Lee University where he perfected his guitar playing and theory knowledge.  Now that he is back residing in his hometown of Yuba City, CA, he is a full time musician where his time consists of mixing bands, teaching guitar, and singing/ playing in various bands.  He has no greater passion than music and sharing it with the people he loves.

 This song bird has been writing lyrics since she was 11 years old. Ever since she learned music could be her career, she took it in full swing and now she has been singing and playing professionally for 4 years.  She studied at American River Collage where she got her AA degree in Music Recording. Along with her love of music, she has a goal of leaving the world better than she found it. When not occupied preforming live, Gwen is diligently working on original recordings.

We strive to help make special memories for people by filling moments with music, create positive change with art, make a safe haven for all people and look out for animals. All while sharing our gift of music along the way.
