Joe Nolan

Joe Nolan is a virtuoso guitarist, elusive poet, and musical chameleon raised in the rural community of Sturgeon County, Alberta, growing up alongside the North Saskatchewan River. Born on June 4, 1990, he is an Americana artist based in Edmonton. Breaking genres and defying labels, he defines his sound as "These are my caravan diaries," claiming to go "wherever the muse takes me." His genres include singer-songwriter, indie folk, and Americana. The strength of his debut record "Goodbye Cinderella" (2011) earned a nomination for Canadian Folk Music Award Emerging Artist of the Year, a record deal, and a chance to record in Nashville with some of the most respected names in the business, including Colin Linden, Marco Giovino (Robert Plant, Norah Jones), and John Whynot (Lucinda Williams, Blue Rodeo). "Tornado" was released by Six Shooter Records on January 28, 2014. He has earned accolades such as the Cobalt Songwriting Prize and garnered a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for his 2023 release "Lost Verses." He continues to dazzle fans across North America and Europe, logging around 150 shows a year. Hailed by The Globe & Mail as "an Americana wunderkind to look out for," his upcoming album "Luv in the New World" was produced by Tyler Chester and recorded live off the floor in Los Angeles with world-class musicians Jay Bellerose (drums) and Sebastian Steinberg (bass). He is often accompanied by his 2003 Dodge Caravan, named Rocco, and his trusty parlor guitar.
