J.P. Cormier and Jaywalkers
Legendary Canadian bluegrass/folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist J.P. Cormier sweeps into Celtic Connections in trademark fashion A virtuoso performer and compelling storyteller, the Nova Scotia native is known for his incredible playing style, razor sharp wit, and lightning sense of humour.
After the success of award-winning 1997 debut release, Another Morning, 16 albums have followed, winning several more accolades along the way. Each album was a snapshot of each thing Cormier can do - there are fiddle albums, mandolin, banjo, guitar, tribute records, songwriting collections; a purely astounding spectrum of talent and musical vision. This is one show you don’t want to miss.
Opening the evening are Jaywalkers: as those who have been fortunate enough to catch them in full flight will testify, a Jaywalkers show is an exhilarating experience. The combination of powerhouse bass, flame-fingered mandolin, blistering fiddle and three-part harmony pack a punch as fiery as Jay’s lead vocals and make a fuller sound than expected from an acoustic trio.
