Joe Schomaker

Vocals/Guitar

My life was drastically altered in 1975. After years of listening to my older siblings Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell records, I found Kiss Alive! This changed the house dynamic considerably and lead to me wanting to play guitar and be in a band. In 1981, my childhood friend Tom Wagner and I joined my first band, Blacksmith. For the last 30 years I have played in a variety of bands around the greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. Including Remaining Links, The Others, Masque, and Skut Farkis to name a few of many. I've had a great time so far rocking out with Fast Forward, and look forward to kicking some ass in 2011..... Oh, and Celine Dion is the Antichrist. Let's all party real soon.

The Fast Forward Band has evolved over the years and now includes: Joe Schomaker, Todd Chumbley, Dave Stautberg, Tom Wagner, Larry VanDruten and Jeff Butler.
