The hook lyric, "together we can't go wrong" can be correlated to voluminous life scenarios. Stream it on all platforms: https://orcd.co/vx3p1dv Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/joywiremusic Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/joywiremusic Web: http://www.joywiremusic.com Itʼs an oft-used cliché to describe music made by passionate, free-spirited artists as “timeless” but on visiting the songs of JoyWire, itʼs hard not to think of them as complete outsiders. These unique, prescient, zealous songs resonate with basic realities about the human condition and seem to exist beyond the perishable boundaries of fashion and style. Listen closer, however, and it becomes clear that JoyWire songs are not so much time-less, as time-full; packed with an awareness of precious moments, vanishing hopes, urgent social pressures, fervent memories, so that they might better be thought of as melodic time- bombs, primed to go off at any time. Thus, JoyWire is an American Indie-Rock-Tronica band hailing from Chicago Illinois and formed in 2022 by Leroy Bocchieri. JoyWire is, and always has been, Leroy Bocchieri. Though his creative life was nurtured under the sober glare of the Midwest in the late 70ʼs and early 80ʼs, reacting to punk, Disco, thereʼs a vast scope within the material. His genre is all his own. It is music of long shadows, high hopes, channeled frustration, feverish passions, and sweetly disturbing poignancy. It is pop and rock, blues and dance, soul-ish with scrappy pop. The glaring, jarring wonder of Leroyʼs catalogue is the fundamental underlying assumption that songs matter, music matters, lyrics matter, and they should be firmly built upon urgent truth, with truth on top. Everything sounds like it HAD to be made, which may partly explain why there have been comparatively few Leroy/JoyWire records over the years. Indeed the absences in-between releases became the fertile ground for his evolving sonic palette. Composer/artist, Leroy Bocchieri's past work is heard regularly in TV/ads/Indie film. Lyrics: It's all between us Our words are always true It shows when we come together Old dimensions new Dayglo 'til nighttime This is all we need People keep on the right way Connected through all along People keep on the right way Together we can't go wrong Shadows of the past now Were they ever real Echoes of different laughter Reminding me I still feel Sun shines around us It's all time we see People keep on the right way Connected through all along People keep on the right way Together we can't go wrong People keep on the right way Connected through all along People keep on the right way Together we can't go wrong

STANDING IN YOUR LIGHT - (Official Music Video) JoyWire Feat. Leroy Bocchieri of Booch Band, Day One

Hopeful ode to a future of optimistic and luminated sentiment. Breezy and celebratory guitar flourishes sway with a lush vocal background that reminds us of the ethereal and spirited renewal from light. Jayhawks and other Midwestern heartland artists' vibes shine throughout. The Leroy's featured soulful guitar solo floats at first then builds to a Todd Rundgren-like uplifting jam. Leroy Bocchieri a.k.a JoyWire brings in John Richardson on Drums (Small Squares, Shoes, BadFinger, Gin Blossoms, Eddie Money), and Kevin Gastonguay (Cory Wong) on Keyboards.

(C) 2019 Booch Band, LTD. Under Exclusive License To Broken Records LTD. Official Music Video for JoyWire (formerly Booch Band) a.k.a. Leroy Bocchieri''s "Light" release. Ultimate pop, sultry lyric, passionate guitar, driving rhythm, and angst-ridden vibe on this one. Jagger, Elvis Costello and Presley are present as are the Beatles and a touch of soul. Recorded at Drum Farm Studio's in Menominie WI with Production and drums by John Richardson (Gin Blossoms, Eddie Money, Badfinger, Shoes). Kevin Gastonguay is featured on Hammond Organ (Dr. Mambo’s Combo, Nooky Jones, New Sound Underground) Pop Hooked, Lyrically Cooked, Floor swaying, guitar groovin', Rock with a melodic Pop. With influences as varied as the Beatles, Elvis Presley & Costello, Led Zeppelin and Peter Gabriel, The Booch Band brings lyrically complex music imbibed with heavy grooves to a new generation. JoyWire (formerly Booch Band) has taken on a series of incarnations through leader Leroy Bocchieri including "Leroy", and "Day One" but has now crystalized to the name Booch Band.(A long-time nickname) In fact, Leroy's midwestern upbringing is what has inspired the band's down home feel. A Chicago native, he began playing music because it's what he remembers most listening to as a child. (BTW: First instrument was accordion!) Endlessly playing The Beatles "Hard Day's Night" 33 1/3 on his father's Grundig-Majestic Hi-Fi and repeating "I Want to Hold Your Hand" caused him to pick up a guitar and sing. But, as with all new things, it wasn't an instant shred session. He had to fight his way through blistered fingers, bad notes, a Silvertone guitar from Sears, and parents screaming at him, "Turn that down, I'm trying to watch the Ed Sullivan Show!" (sometimes it was the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour)
