Joe Koch
Biography
Joe Koch is a writer and musician from Mississippi living in the DC area. He's the owner and managing editor of Fig & Mint (www.figandmint.com), known worldwide as "The Interweb's Most Edurecated Music Blog." His other current projects include an album he can't seem to finish and a novel he can't seem to start. Because writing and musicianing doesn't pay well these days, he also has a day job that forces him to sell out to corporate America and ride subway trains for long hours with thousands of other haplessly proselytized commuters.
