Joe Bouchard is an American musician, composer, author, and educator world famous for his more than fifteen years as bassist of Blue Öyster Cult. Joe Bouchard started with the band then known as the Soft White Underbelly in the 60s. His brother Albert was a member and together they would see the band through to being signed by Clive Davis on Columbia Records.
Blue Öyster Cult was not an overnight success. From constant touring they built a growing “cult” following. They opened shows all over the United States for groups such as Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and many more. Their first breakthrough album was the 1975 live set, On Your Feet or On Your Knees, which delighted the intense hard rock fans they had won over the years. In 1976, BÖC recorded one of their most popular numbers, Don’t Fear the Reaper which isnow an all-time favorite on classic rock radio. It was used in several movies including the original Halloween, and Stephen King’s The Stand. In 1977, they recorded another classic, Godzilla, on their Spectres album for Columbia. In the early days of MTV, the BÖC video, Burnin’ for You, was a staple on the fledgling cable TV network. Joe Bouchard recorded thirteen albums with Blue Öyster Cult for Columbia Records, and over the years was awarded nine gold albums and two platinum albums. Joe Bouchard’s song Astronomy was also recorded by Metallica on their Garage Inc album, which has now gone five times platinum.
In 1986, Joe Bouchard decided to retire from Blue Öyster Cult and left the band to pursue other goals. Over the years, Joe was a teacher in a private school, and worked in a music book publishing company. In 1986 he performed as a touring organist and pianist with Spencer Davis of the Spencer Davis Group. In 1998 he released his first self-produced CD for The X Brothers, entitled Solid Citizens on Cellsum Records. He recently released a new CD entitled Back From Hell featuring ex-Alice Cooper members, Neal Smith and Dennis Dunaway. He is the author of four educational music books. Joe Bouchard also performed in an instructional video: Rock Bass for Beginners distributed by Alfred Publishing. He holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Ithaca College and a Master of Music degree from The Hartt School at the University of Hartford.
Joe Bouchard has a new solo album coming out in January of 2012 on Spectra Records entitled Jukebox In My Head. Joe Bouchard is currently touring and also performs with his brother Albert and Dennis Dunaway (Alice Cooper) in his side project, the band Blue Coupe.
