Smokin' Joe Kubek (born November 30, 1956, Grove City, Pennsylvania[1]) is an American blues guitarist.

Biography

Although he was born in Pennsylvania, Kubek grew up in Texas and is associated with the Texas blues style. He played with Freddie King while still a teenager, and put together his own band to tour in the Dallas area.[1] He met the Louisiana-born singer, Bnois King, in the 1980s, and together they put together the first incarnation of Kubek's band.[2] Kubek signed to Bullseye Blues in 1991 and released his debut record; he has steadily released albums since then, which often featured the two frontmen's songs.[2]
