Today we are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend Joe Mango. Joe was the lifeblood of our local Connecticut music scene for many years. He ran sound at BRYAC while all of us at some point or another were playing to maybe 5 people, and it always felt amazing because Joe was there making it sound great. Each night, regardless of the situation, he had a whimsical and brilliant introduction to proclaim. For Joe, it didn’t matter if the room was full or empty, he’d make us feel like we were playing MSG, the mark of a truly amazing sound engineer and person. He supported us and our other musical projects through the years, hosting us at his local festival Soupstock and providing advice on how to be a band. We worked closely with Joe when crafting our In Ear Monitor system, which we use on the road wherever we go. Without Joe, us and many other bands wouldn’t be where they are today. Joe, thank you so much for all the joy you provided us, we’ll always cherish those memories of late-night at BRYAC wrapping cables.
Our hearts are with the family and friends of Joe Mango. Since our earliest shows at BRYAC, we have had the pleasure of experiencing his friendship and mentorship. Joe was never one to hoard his heart, his knowledge, his jokes, or his bowls. He was one of the first people to show a genuine interest in our music and working together. His validation and appreciation was, and continues to be inspiring to us.
We’re incredibly grateful to have shared the stage with him during our last performance at BRYAC, in which Joe absolutely nails the vocals on “Sister Golden Hair”.
Thank you, Joe, for connecting so many musicians and friends in our tiny little slice of life down here in CT. Rest easy, Joe, you are unbelievably missed
“I just want to let you know: good luck, we’re all counting on you.”
Joe Mango and I used to say this whenever we saw each other. He started it. At the FTC as I recall and he was always pretty hilarious about it. I liked him immediately. He’d butter you up like he was going to say something super serious and then use this line from Leslie Nielsen in Airplane and it just always cracked me up. Text messages, backstage after a show, on stage during soundcheck, front row during a show: “I just want let you know: good luck, we’re all counting on you.”
Ah, Joe. I am so, so sorry to hear of your passing and I will miss seeing you out there. Thanks for every time you booked me and every time you mixed me and every time you made me laugh. You did a lot of good for a lot of people for a long time. My heart goes out to all the SoupStock family and everyone who knew Joe. You will be missed. I just want to let you know. Good luck. We’re all counting on you. ❤️💔❤️ @joemango
