As an artist, Joe Crookston is a force of nature. He is a vulnerable and powerful fiddler, slide guitar player, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. He communes with his audience and welcomes them into his magic…every time.

With Joe, it’s not just a concert, it’s a COMPASSIONATE STORY REVOLUTION.

Gordon Lightfoot personally invited Joe to tour with him and open concerts on his last US tour. From headlining The Kerrville Folk Fest, Philadelphia Folk Fest, Black Bear Americana Fest In the US, as well as major Canadian festivals, receiving Folk Alliance International "Album of the Year" releasing NINE BECOMES ONE (2025) to being named Folk Alliance International Artist-in-Resident, Joe is a creative force for good.

He has played with Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, David Francey, John McCutcheon, John Gorka, Judy Collins and 100's more. His songs have been made into award winning films. In concert, he is funny as hell one moment and transcendent the next. HE BELIEVES IN STORIES.
