Joe Poirier is a guitarist / singer / songwriter who is exciting audiences of the Greater Toronto Area, with his own eclectic brand of Blues music. As a guitarist, he is known for his aggressive, energetic and enthusiastic performances blending Country, Rock, and Jazz styles to augment the Blues.
In 2011, Joe released two new recordings to spotlight many of his musical tastes while still leaning on the Blues which is his true musical passion. The first, Good Times, as its title suggests, is an album of uptempo numbers showcasing several Blues styles. The second, Sunshine, aims its spotlight on his talent as a songwriter as well as a guitarist whose heart is clearly in the vein of such legends as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and other great Blues-Rock performers of the past.
