It's official! See <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.joelplaskett.com">www.joelplaskett.com</a><!-- w --> for details.
Very sweet indeed. I thought he totally rocked on Canada Day at the Molson Amp. Can't wait to see him again in November!!

they sounded good on canada day, thats cool news, here's to rock n roll! :thumb:
The waiting is over! He's a pretty good choice.
Well I've been listening to JOEL's CD for a few weeks now and as usual i skipped him as I do most openers for the HIP.....
I really dig the CD .... probably one of the best I've heard in a long time from a new band....... so I will be at the ACC early for this one for sure!
Plaskett isn't so new though. He's been doing this music thing for a while. Thrush Hermit lasted a little while and now JPE.

Ya I was on his website and realized he had other music... I guess new to me.... Over the last 5 years plus I've been introduced to new artists and the ones that stick out in my head are David Gray about 4 years ago, Sam Roberts almost 2 years ago... and now Joel Plaskett.... all of these artists hit me on the first listen !
Any one suggest any others I'm missing out on..?

damn. i wanted to see Sam Roberts.
i jsut hopet his guy (band?) isn't as bad as By Divine Right. god. they were just awful
I was hoping for Sam Roberts too!!! Oh Well, could be worst..... I'm there for the HIP!!!

Bang on. Joel is a Feldman Agency artist. More importantly though Joel rocks big time...as anyone who caught him on Canada Day can attest. Great choice. Don't miss him! You won't be disappointed. :thumb:
Great news! I have his Down at the Khyber album but I never did get to see him...not even at the famous Khyber shows!! I miss that place. I saw Kate Fenner there two years ago...anyway...big thumbs up on Plaskett over Sam Roberts.
if I am not mistaken Joel had one of his video's done by Ante Kovac (I think that's his name.. good ole Croat!).. and of course Ante did a video or two for the hip as well..
Just listened to a few songs from his site tonight and I'm looking forward to the seeing him now. sounds pretty good. :thumb:
Glad to hear it. IMO Plaskett is head and shoulders above Roberts, both as a live act, and a musician.
