  • Bio

    The year 2010 was a very good year for Joe Nolan. Touring and traveling extensively, Joe had the great pleasure of playing clubs, festivals and schools while sharing the stage with artists like Todd Snider, Colin Linden, Sam Baker, Gurf Morlix, Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women and the legendary Peter Asher. In December, Joe traveled to Nashville, Tennessee where he recorded his third album “Goodnight Cinderella”. The album was produced by Colin Linden and featured some of Nashville’s most storied players including Spooner Oldham (Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Neil Young) on keyboards, Charlie McCoy (Bob Dylan, Elvis, Simon & Garfunkel) on harmonica, Dave Roe (Johnny Cash, John Mellencamp) on acoustic bass, Chris Donahue (Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant) on electric bass, Bryan Owings (Emmylou Harris, Tony Joe White, Delbert McClinton) on drums, along with producer Linden (Bruce Cockburn, Lucinda Williams) on electric guitars and vocals. The record was brilliantly recorded by John Whynot (Blue Rodeo, Loreena McKennitt) who also contributed keyboards on a few songs. The recording features 10 new Joe Nolan compositions and shows a quantum leap in maturity and confidence. Joe’s beautiful combination of sweet, sad lyrics and haunting vocals come from a deep well that shows a young man’s heart and an old man’s soul. Protest songs, love songs, songs with questions and songs with answers create a collection that will leave the listener wanting more. His live performances are mesmerizing and the audience connects to Joe’s soft, honest and heart-felt delivery. Yes, 2010 was a good year for Joe Nolan. All of this and he just turned 20 years old. Keep an ear out for this young man as he embarks on a career that will stand the test of time. He is a keeper. Joe is a previous winner of the CBC Radio Galaxy Rising Star Award. .. .. .. ..
