Big Joe Maher

Life and career Joseph Maher was born and raised in Washington, D.C.,

Big Joe and the Dynaflows' debut album, Good Rockin' Daddy, was released by Ichiban Records in 1990. His 1998 release, I'm Still Swingin''', was given a Washington Area Music Award for Best Blues Recording. Maher has also performed with his own Big Three Trio and the Big Four Combo, which have included John Cocuzzi.

In 2000, his band was involved in the recording of I Warned You Baby, a compilation made for use by the Carolina shag scene. You Can't Keep a Big Man Down was released in 2011 on Severn Records. The title track related to the almost career-ending back injury which Maher suffered in late 2001, and explained his long absence from recording. The album included a guest appearance from Dennis Taylor on saxophone.

In mid 2012, Maher jointly toured with Anson Funderburgh.

Big Joe and the Dynaflows' most recent release, Rockhouse Party'', was issued on February 15, 2019.
