In 2002, Cap'n James Cook (Lead singer) was looking for an outlet for a ton of old-time jazz and folk songs he knew, so he gathered some friends up in his basement and formed Trashcan Joe. Since then they've written a bunch of their own tunes and now have an entire CD full of them, "Real Life". Trashcan Joe plays every Wednesday at the "The Moon and Sixpence" in Portland, OR. Free downloads and more info can be found at their official website, http://www.trashcanjoe.com
