In the early 1980s, he found a niche in San Diego County as an opener for nationally touring acts for several local promoters, which allowed him to grow as a performer of his own original songs. He recorded his first album in 1981. Joel has performed for many years at the annual Woody Guthrie Festival, has released two albums of all Woody Guthrie songs, and has toured the country as part of a road show of songwriters dedicated to presenting Woody Guthrie through his songs and prose. He also performed several tribute concerts around the country presented by the Woody Guthrie Archives in partnership with the Grammy Museum. The most notable, the final 2012 show at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., was filmed for television. In addition to his two albums of Woody Guthrie tunes, Joel has released eight albums of his original songs. His most recent, in 2019, is Rose Avenue.
