Joe Meckley has been involved with music for over 20 years. He moved from a small farm town in upstate New York to Myrtle Beach, SC in 2004. Joe graduated from Coastal Carolina University with a B.A. in Performance Bass under Mr. Steve Bailey in 2011. He has played professionally for various musical groups throughout South Carolina, ranging from Wind Ensembles, Musicals, Churches, Jazz, and Rock groups. He recorded and toured with his original rock group called Doctrine of Ethos for over 7 years. Currently, he plays with a local Jazz group called U.N.I.
While in college, Joe starting working for a local music store in Myrtle Beach and found a passion for pro audio equipment, sound reinforcement and recording technologies. He guided customers on the proper technology to suit their needs; as well as, training and installation. In 2017 when that store closed, Joe and a business partner opened up their own store called Full Scale Band & Orchestra located in Myrtle Beach. They specialize in sales, repair, and rent-to-own instruments for school programs throughout Horry and Georgetown counties.
Joe has been a part of the Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church family since 2011. He started out by playing the Easter and Christmas Cantatas and then eventually joining the praise team. Joe and his wife Abbi were married in 2014 by the late Pastor Mike Berry whose words of encouragement and guidance still stay with them to this day. For two years, Abbi lead the youth program until the birth of their daughter Nina in 2017. In May of 2019 they welcomed their son Benjamin into the world. When Joe is not working he loves time with his family.
