Tweed & Co.: J.P. Cormier @ the MAC

One of Canada’s most influential guitarists and musicians, J.P. Cormier has had a wild and exciting career – before turning 20, he had already become a sideman for Stompin’ Tom Connors. Born in Ontario to Cape Breton parents, east coast music is in his bones. He put out his first lead album, Another Morning, in 1997. It did incredibly well and to this day, songs off that album have deeply influenced some of the biggest names in the business. People like Dave Gunning, Matt Andersen, David Myles, and Joel Plaskett… all of which will tell you: that Juno-nominated and ECMA-winning record changed things. 
 
Since then, Cormier’s career has continued to flourish. Sixteen albums followed the success of Another Morning, winning 12 more ECMAs, another Juno nomination, a Canadian Folk Music Award and 5 Music Nova Scotia Awards. Audiences leave his shows amazed and wondering… Did they see a storyteller? A songwriter? Arguably one of the best guitar players in the business today? Someone who crosses between different instruments like there are no lines? J.P. Cormier is one of the biggest names in Canadian music, and you’re not going to want to miss his one night in town. 
 
“…One of the most important guitar players of his generation.” – Chet Atkins
