Joe Ciotti

Born in rural, upstate New York and raised in Northern California, Joe Ciotti’s dreams of being a musician started as a young boy. His 93-year-old mother tells stories of how, as a child, he would wake everyone in the house by singing rather than crying. As he grew up, Ciotti struggled to find his place and musical genre ultimately returning his Country roots. Along the way, he had a distinguished career dedicated to improving the lives of working people. He also realized another lifelong dream of making wine and now owns and operates a vineyard and winery featuring award-winning wine. Ciotti’s new release, Misery is Optional, encapsulates his way of life with a philosophy instilled in him from his youth: always seek out the best in what life has to offer; the choice is ours. His music tells stories from a songwriter’s point of view and is exhilarating and heartfelt. Over the next few months, Ciotti will release several songs worthy of addition to any playlist.
