While consistently touring across North America, Joe Firstman continues "to draw on a rich tapestry of style and genre. It’s genre-blending to the point of genre-defying." In 2014, he released "Love Bravely." Brooklyn, NY based "The Deli Magazine" says: "In addition to being a bottomless well of natural songwriting talent with years of touring experience with A-list acts, Firstman can claim four years acting as bandleader for The Carson Daly show. The role required a high level of day-to-day adaptability, which plays strongly into the polish and cohesion of 'Love Bravely,'" going on to call the record "magic" and "magnetic."
