Joe Markko

JOE MARKKO is a life-long musician and co-founder of one of America’s earliest Christian Rock bands, the All Saved Freak Band. Author of six books, including his Award-Winning autobiography, “When Someday Comes: Memoirs of a Survivor,” his writings are influenced by a life unusually rich in experience and tragedy. Tempered by 10 years in a Christian cult that took the lives of three people, electrocution with 27,000 volts of electricity, the shotgun-shooting death of his oldest child, falling from grace as an ordained clergyman and the long road to physical, spiritual and emotional healing, Joe Markko’s writings are intensely personal, intensely hopeful. Living in Northeast Ohio with "Good Queen Barbara," Joe spends his days writing, recording music in his home studio or generally "sucking the marrow from the day."
