Joe is a force of nature on stage. He is in his power AND he communes with his audience and welcomes them into the magic. From touring with Gordon Lightfoot, headlining major US festivals, receiving Folk Alliance International Album of the Year, releasing NINE BECOMES ONE (2023) to being named Folk Alliance International Artist-in- Resident, Joe is on fire. Hes played with Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, David Francey, John McCutcheon, John Gorka, Judy Collins and 100s more. His songs are are being made into award winning films. Watch this trailer for Brooklyn in July Hell surprise you. He awakens the cynics. Hes plumbing for lyrical gold.His rhythm is infectious. In concert, he is funny as hell one moment and transcendent the next. HE BELIEVES IN STORIESCome to a show. Visual, artful and surprising. Brooklyn in July, Oklahoma towns, rattlesnake tails, turbary thieves, meter maids and drunk roosters. At the end of the night, youll leave inspired. The Long Note is a phrase in Irish culture. The Long Note is that place of resonance and transcendence where the music, the voices, the instruments, and the community ALL come together and unite.THERE IS A LONG NOTE & JOE IS REACHING FOR ITWhether hes weaving through lap slide songs or fiddling an American Southern tune, hell draw you in. It happens every time. Watch a YouTube video...its fine, but its not the same. You gotta come to a show. With unwavering courage to be himself, he is literate, poignant and funny as hell. He lives in Ithaca NY and tours regularly in the US, Ireland and Canada. Best quote~ I hate folk music, but I absolutely LOVE Joe Crookstons music.!Rattlesnake Tail (Little Bit Lovely)
