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.

The Next Gig
This is a new group I'm playing with. Gary Sharma who I have known from my Barrie days and most recently with Tamin Thunder is on bass, and Dean Nichols, an old friend of Gary's, is on drums. Our statement of "Canada's Best Classic Rock Trio" may be a bit bold, but we just want everyone to know that we will do our best to entertain you. Our first gig will be at the Birchmount Tavern in Scarborough on Saturday March 14. Start time 10 pm.
The Last Gig
I want to thank those who came out and hope to do it again in the near future. Hopefully the video looks good and can put it up online.
