'If there's a story so far this year in Canada it's Joel Kroeker' - The Calgary Sun 'When I first heard Joel Kroeker play guitar it reminded me of a modern pop version of Lenny Breau. His guitar playing, and phrasing are very reminiscent of Lenny. His playing is familiar sounding but with a new approach to standard riffs and things which gives him his own unique style right from bar one.' - Guitarist Randy Bachman (the Guess Who) 'Joel is the kind of artist that True North can take around the world. I think he's got one foot where Paul Simon is, and one foot where Jack Johnson is.' - True North president Bernie Finkelstein A strikingly original singer/songwriter, Joel Kroeker is about to his third album 'Closer to the Flame' on February 13th, 2007. Recorded with producer Danny Greenspoon at Canterbury Sound in Toronto, Joel's second album 'Melodrama' features a band that matches Joel's sizable talent guitarist Kevin Breit (Norah Jones), keyboardist Gary Breit (Bryan Adams), drummer Gary Craig (Bruce Cockburn), bassist George Koller (Peter Gabriel), and with background vocals by Kathryn Rose and Susie Vinnick.

Joel is also up for OUTSTANDING POP ALBUM OF THE YEAR and SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR at the WCMA Music Awards along with Sarah Maclachlan, Nelly Furtado and Jann Arden. Joel completed a Bachelor of Music in Composition and Guitar Performance at the University of Manitoba and then a Masters Degree in Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies from the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Joel's debut CD 'Naive Bohemian,' released independently in 1999 by his Dancing Monk Productions, reached # 7 on the National Campus Radio Specialty chart.

Composed for a museum residency at the Frick in New York City, Nove Cantici is a beautiful suite of music inspired by the life and thought of the beloved spiritual fig- ure Saint Francis of Assisi. A fitting follow-up to the beautiful and moody acoustic guitar CD Midsummer Moons from 2017, here the astounding guitar duo of Julian Lage and Gyan Riley is expanded to a trio with the addition of legendary guitarist Bill Frisell. Ten lovely, spiritual compositions for meditation and contemplation per- formed by three of the most renown guitarists in the world. An essential that will appeal to perhaps the widest audience Zorn has ever had.
