Asphalt Joey is a Satyr Wilder from Chicago in the Kingdom of Grass.
Overview[]
Legend has it that Asphalt Joey's first cradle was a guitar case lines with a baby blanket. Born and raised in the mountains of Kentucky, he learned to play and sing from his grandfather, a famous blues man named Booker T. Black. Joey's soulful songs have made him famous throughout the world because they inspire intense emotion in whomever hears them.
He earned his nickname when he hitchhiked across the country, sowing his wild oats. He wanted to experience the real, gritty world and learn about life first-hand. The story of that trip reads like Jack Kerouac's "On The Road." Many of these experiences found their way into his songs; telling the tales of the people he met, the places he saw, and the adventures he had.
In recent years, on the edge of grumphood, he has settled in Chicago and opened a club in the downtown area with the proceeds from his last record contract. Aptly called "Joey's," a plaque on the wall near the entrance holds the club motto: "At Joey's, the drinks are cheap, the women are easy, and the music makes you want both."
