Joe Troop

Joe Troop is the lone North Carolinian in the Grammy nominated band Che Apalache.  Like just about everyone else, Joe is staying at home during the pandemic which has taken a heavy toll on musicians who can no longer play in front of live audiences. That's a serious blow to their livelihood.

But that doesn't mean Joe has stopped making music.  He has just released a song called "A Plea To The U.S. Government To Fully Fund the Postal Service."  He's on a mission to make sure the postal service doesn't just survive, but thrives.
