JOE ICONIS is the writer of BLOODSONG OF LOVE: THE ROCK ‘N' ROLL SPAGHETTI WESTERN, which had a Drama Desk nominated production at Ars Nova last Spring. His musical WE THE PEOPLE was recently nominated as Best Musical at the 2011 Lucille Lortel Awards. He is the recipient of an Ed Kleban Award, a Daryl Roth Award, and a Jonathan Larson Award. His theatrical rock concert, THINGS TO RUIN, has played three critically- acclaimed engagements, at The Zipper Theater, the Second Stage Theatre, and (Le) Poisson Rouge and recently had a cast recording released on Sh-K-Boom/ Ghostlight Records.

His three-part rock musical REWRITE played Urban Stages and Goodspeed, and is now licensed by Samuel French.
