Known as a real Texas media outlaw, a gruff & grumpy billygoat of a man, a loving husband, devoted father, promoter, publisher, band manager - a man dedicated to getting things done. If you’ve grown up in Texas and attended your share of rock shows, then you’ve likely attended a Joe Claytor Production. A major player credited with helping put the Texas scene on the map, Joe Claytor lost his life in a tragic car wreck on July 15th, 2005, along with his brother Doug and friend/co-worker, Bobby Greene.
Born in Cadillac, Michigan, December 14, 1965, it didn’t take long for a young Joe to find himself in the great state of Texas. Joe was always an extremely hard worker. He was recognized right away for his hard work ethic and instinctive talent for organizing ambitious projects. A few notable endeavors in Houston include promoting for clubs like the Axiom, Goats Head Soup, Urban Art Bar, Deep Phat - booking hundreds of artists from Beck to Carcass to Zeke. He was the creative force behind several potent publications that include Rivethead/Riveted, the Houston Compost, Pile, Jack Cash and most recently the widely-distributed and successful Reloaded Monthly (formerly Rank & Revue) based in Austin, Texas.
Joe’s biggest triumph was his beautiful family. Nestled in the hills of San Marcos, Joe neglected the rest of us to devote himself completely to his wife and children. It took a lot to convince him to jump back into the game but with only the support from Lila, Thoren, Tristana and Jarren.
Claytor was sometimes a tough man to get along with but impossible to dislike. When his heart touched yours, you knew that you had a solid friend-a loyal friend for life. Joe was the epitome of a rough exterior housing a gem of incomparable worth.
Joe is survived by wife Lila, his children, Thoren, Tristana and Jarren, his mother Christina Claytor and sister, Laurie Jahns.
