About
My name is Joe Nolan, I am a full time road dog and professional musician and entertainer. In a typical year I will play anywhere from 200-250 shows, touring touring all over Canada, US, and Europe.
Joe Nolan — a virtuoso guitarist, poet and midnight rambler. His trusty parlor guitar may look small, but it howls like a full band in an old blues joint. He will have a room rocking one moment then strip things down to a silencing hush the next. His lyrics rival the greatest: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits. Nolan's music is both current and timeless, defying genre's and leaving audiences spellbound from the first note. Don't miss the opportunity to experience Joe Nolan live. The Globe and Mail heralds him as the "Wunderkind to watch." With a career adorned with accolades for his songwriting prowess, Joe Nolan has collaborated with Juno award-winning producers Colin Linden and Hawksley Workman. His seventh album, "Lost Verses" (2023), is currently nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award. Additionally, Nolan has garnered songwriting awards at the Maple Blues Awards and received nominations from BreakOut West and CFMA. Now, Nolan embarks on his most ambitious project yet: "Love in the New World," produced by Grammy Award winner Tyler Chester. This highly anticipated album is set for release in fall 2024, Nolan's relentless touring, often logging over 200 shows a year, cements his status as the quintessential troubadour of our time. In every performance, he leaves audiences yearning for more, proving himself as the real deal troubadour of this day and age.
