- Birth nameJoseph Andrew Sutton Schermann
- Height5′ 11″ (1.80 m)
- Joe Schermann is known for How Do You Write a Joe Schermann Song (2012).
- Moved to Brooklyn, NY, from Minneapolis, MN via train. His train left St. Paul on December 31st, 2008, and arrived in Manhattan on January 1st, 2009. He celebrated the New Year in the lounge car of the train with several passengers and a bottle of wine.
- Received his B.F.A. in Musical Theatre Performance from Viterbo University in La Crosse, WI.
- Is a die-hard Bruce Springsteen fan. Once, while he was still a college student in La Crosse, WI, he took a train to Chicago for a weekend with nothing but a hundred dollars and a ticket to see Springsteen perform with the E-Street Band in his pocket and no place to stay. Although he ended up spending a night squatting outside of Union Station (during a cold October), he's often said that the concert alone made it the greatest weekend of his life.
- Cites Stephen Sondheim, Bruce Springsteen, Cole Porter and Van Morrison as his top influences as a composer/lyricist.
- Is an avid "gamer," whose favorite games include Final Fantasy VI (SNES), Street Fighter II: Turbo (SNES), The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GC).
- I never understood the appeal of hard-to-get. That's mainly because I'm enamored with myself, and have affection for those with similar interests. But, seriously, it's just annoying. Life is too short and I simply have too much to do to waste my time treating something as very real and serious to me as romance like it's a petty game or dance.
- Of course I love listening to my own work. I think it's the most exciting and satisfying form of masturbation I've ever experienced.
