SUMMARY:Joel Plaskett Concert
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presents\nJoel Plaskett\nOne Real Reveal on Wheels\nWednesday\, September 18 – 7:30 PM \nJoel Plaskett – 30+ years on records and the road\, still restless & rolling on \nFor over three decades\, Joel Plaskett has proven himself a spinning wheel of reinvention. The Nova Scotia songwriter’s eclectic body of work reveals a restless and playful spirit\, always transforming and expanding. \nWhile continuing to celebrate — and be celebrated for — his regional ties and embrace of East Coast musical traditions\, Joel’s omnivorous appetite for new sonic horizons is an integral part of his work. His discography includes heavy riff epics\, like Thrush Hermit’s now-classic swansong Clayton Park (1999); low-fi and wide eyed solo records like In Need of Medical Attention (1999) and La De Da (2005); lean\, loose and lyrical rock and roll with the Emergency on Down at the Khyber (2001) and Truthfully\, Truthfully (2003); and a father-and-son nod to English folk traditions with Solidarity (2017). Then there are the endeavours that push the envelope further: the Emergency’s romantic epic concept album Ashtray Rock (2007).
