Off Road Records President David Fanning announces the signing of singer-songwriter Joe Noto to the Nashville-based label. Noto’s debut song for Off Road Records, “Gotta Know About That,” is out now.

“From the moment we first met Joe, I knew he would be a perfect fit for Off Road Records,” said Fanning. “It’s a pleasure to work with an artist who is so passionate and knows who he is. We are excited to start this journey together.”

Born in New York and raised in Florida, Noto moved to Nashville in the summer of 2021. He draws on his Italian heritage and Florida upbringing to write country songs grounded in optimism, humor and everyday life. “Gotta Know About That” doubles as an introduction, taking listeners to Loxahatchee, Florida, with root beer in the backseat and a rosary on the dash. In the chorus, Noto sums himself up as “a redneck in a Yankee hat.” He has opened for Jake Owen, Russell Dickerson, Mitchell Tenpenny and Craig Morgan.

“Country music has always been about telling stories, but I’ve never believed it needs to sound one way to feel like country music,” said Noto. “My goal has always been to bring my own influences and stories to the table, and to sound like nobody other than myself. From day one, everyone at Off Road understood that.”
