On Tuesday, November 18, don’t miss an evening with Joel Plaskett, one of Canada’s most celebrated and versatile songwriters. For over three decades, Joel has reinvented himself again and again — from his days fronting Halifax indie-rockers Thrush Hermit, to his solo acoustic gems, to rollicking rock anthems with the Emergency, and even family collaborations steeped in folk tradition. His catalogue spans heartfelt ballads, gritty guitar-driven rockers, and sprawling concept albums that have cemented his place as a true Canadian original.

Beloved for his magnetic live shows, Joel has played stages from Massey Hall to the NAC, opened for legends like Paul McCartney and The Tragically Hip, and won acclaim from JUNOs, Polaris, and East Coast Music Awards. With his latest release One Real Reveal (2024) and a deluxe tribute album featuring the likes of Arkells, Sloan, Bahamas, and The Sheepdogs, Joel continues to prove he’s one of the most vital voices in Canadian music today.
